Question

How do you properly throw a boomerang?

Answer 1

Very carefully.

On youtube there are a variety of boomerang throwing videos.  Surprisingly, many modern boomerangs do not have the traditional "V" shape.  There are also indoor throwing leagues.

Answer 2

Throwing boomerangs is a learned skill and takes practice

A boomerang is a precise object and is difficult to mass produce A boomerang is always thrown overhand like a baseball. Never, ever throw your boomerang side-arm. It will climb straight up in the air, then swoop back down and hit you, your friend, or the ground and break in half! Always throw overhand.
