Throw IT and IT'll turns back



Yeah IT was boomerang, if you are looking for something a tiny bit different the next time you head to the park, give the boomerang a try! Learning how to throw a boomerang is surprisingly simple, but catching is a bit more tricky. Regardless, you'll have a pleasant time learning to whirl a piece of wood through the air and making it return from whence it came. Let's start!

The history of the boomerang is fascinating. I won't bore you with all of it, but to help you become familiar with the high points. First and foremost, the boomerang did not originate in Australia. It turns out its much much older than that. It dates back thousands of years to the time of King Tut - perhaps even before. Anyways, King Tut actually had a collection of boomerangs. What the Australian's, actually the Aborigines in Australia, are known for is hunting with boomerangs.

There is types of boomerangs: returning and hunting. Hunting boomerangs are straighter and well balanced. Imagine these Aborigines sneaking around the outback, looking for a kangaroo. time they find the trick is to throw the boomerang and catch them on the back of the neck, stunning or incapacitating them so they could have dinner. With the returning type of boomerangs you'll be learning to throw, make definite you don't take to the back of the head It tends to hurt!
