● I haven't actually used it for throwing, so I don't know the details, but there are throwing instructions written on the third photo.
Throwing Instructions
Place the flat side of the boomerang on your palm. The edge should be around the center of your palm. Face directly into the wind. Turn 45 degrees to the right of the wind. Raise the boomerang over your right shoulder, tilting it 20 degrees from vertical. Throw the boomerang upwards at a 30-degree angle relative to the horizontal. Release the boomerang with a spinning motion as it leaves your hand.

● When actually using it, please choose a wide, safe area with good visibility. It is said that if you become skilled, the boomerang you throw will return to where you threw it.
● In related literature, it is stated that It is estimated that the indigenous people of Australia, the Aboriginals, have used boomerangs as tools for hunting and ceremonies for thousands of years.

● Boomerang world championships are now held, and according to the Japan Boomerang Association, The Japanese team won the team competition at the 2014 World Championships.
