Review on Recreational Seagull Wooden Boomerangs - Fantastic Boomerang Experience for Fun Seekers by Malik Axmed

This is VERY fun and yes it works if you read the instructions carefully. However, keep in mind that you need a lot of space to play with it (it probably won't work in your backyard). RANGE: This Revain page says "30+ Yards Circled" but the manufacturer's website (Colorado Boomerangs) says it has a range of 40 yards, which I think is more accurate. Let me explain what that means; This boomerang will fly 40 meters in front of you when thrown correctly, so there should be around 50 meters of clear space in front of you. That's half a full size football field. Catch my drift? You need a lot of space to play with this toy. When I first met him, I was in the middle of a baseball field and he was flying over the fence, over the power lines, and over the driveway. Scared me to death but thankfully came back. IS HE REALLY COMING BACK? I repeat if you finish correctly it will RETURN. I watched a few videos on youtube and read the instructions twice before I could throw properly, but now that I've got the hang of it I can throw properly every time.3. WIND: A disadvantage of this boomerang (and I assume most boomerangs) is that it only works in light winds. You can compensate for a bit of wind by changing the angle and direction of the throw, but anything but a light breeze will cause this boomerang to land a few feet in front of you instead of beside you. This effectively means that you cannot use this boomerang on most beaches. DURABILITY: This boomerang is made out of very light plywood, but it feels pretty strong to me and is actually pretty flexible. I've never played with it on concrete or tarmac, so I can't attest to its durability when landing on a hard surface. I doubt it will break, but it would likely rub and scratch if used on concrete. Overall I am very happy with this purchase. This thing is impressive.
