Boomerangs were invented by the native people of Australia, who used them ads weapons. They threw them with deadly accuracy at the animlas they were hunting. Boomerangs, which are designed to return to the thrower, are also used for sport now. The original boomerang was developed as a weapon for hunting by the aborigines of Australia. Its shape has changed so that the modern boomerang looks more like flying saucer than it does a weapon. This type of boomerang has become very popular as a toy. To make a boomerang return to the thrower requires a special technique, but repeated practice throwing will eventually pay off with success. For outdoor fun try throwing a boomerang or flying saucer with our children.
