The boomerang started life as a throwing tool, which was used in hunting and occasionally in battle, most notably by Aboriginal Australians, and by some Native American tribes. The first recorded experience with a boomerang by Western people was in 1804<\/a> in New South Wales, where spectators were amazed to see someone managing to injure a rival with the skilful throwing a stick that changed course in mid air.<\/p>\n

Boomerangs are traditionally made of wood, and are designed to be a throwing stick, with specific capabilities – the ability to rotate on their axis perfectly straight, or to travel in an ellipse, and return to its point of origin once thrown.<\/p>\n

Types of boomerangs<\/h2>\n

These days, the boomerang is mostly known for its ability to return to the thrower\u2019s hand – but this was not always the case. Some boomerangs were never meant to return<\/strong>, but just to be thrown, and others were used in hand to hand combat and never left the hand.<\/p>\n

Most boomerangs we find today will be of the returning type<\/strong>, partly because these are the most striking and interesting types, and partly because we don\u2019t have a lot of need for hunting game with sticks, or for hand to hand combat!<\/p>\n

Boomerangs are a fun and enjoyable item to play with, whether for simple throwing and catching, or for enjoying learning new techniques and making it return to your hand.<\/p>\n

Traditionally they were made from wood or bone<\/strong>, but these days there are many other materials used – from Polypropylene to Carbon Fibre<\/strong> – which can mimic the weight and feel of wood, but add other dimensions too, such as lightness and speed.<\/p>\n

Wood is lightweight and easy on the hand, but some of the more modern materials are also very suited to a throwing implement that can defy gravity and come back to the hand that threw it.<\/p>\n

Key considerations<\/h2>\n

When you are looking to buy the best boomerang, either for a friend, family member or yourself, ask yourself what it is to be used for<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

Presumably it won\u2019t be for its traditional hunting or fighting purposes, so is it for recreation? A fun game to play with the kids? For someone who shows a flair for throwing and might be interested in honing their skills for competitions? (yes, boomerang competitions exist, similarly to Frisbee<\/a>!) Do you or someone you know want to try their hand at learning a new skill?<\/p>\n

You will have to consider the type of material it is made from<\/strong> – are you shopping for a purist who will not thank you if their boomerang gift is anything other than quality wooden construction? Is it for a keen, modern learner who wants all the fanciest new materials? Or for someone who just really likes the look of boomerangs and wants a decorated version to hang on their wall?<\/p>\n

Whatever your needs, hopefully we\u2019ve got you covered with our top five pick of the best boomerang.<\/p>\n
