Types of Boomerangs Types of Boomerangs Boomerangs are made in an infinite variety of shapes and sizes. They can range from the traditional v-shape to ones shaped like the rest of the letters of the alphabet. Some are in the shape of animals or people or just weird looking.
Sizes can be from five inches to three feet across.
Because of their lightness they should not be thrown in windy conditions. These are good boomerangs to learn on and improve your throwing technique before moving up to heavier, intermediate skill boomerangs. Intermediate skill boomerangs can be any shape and are typically heavier than beginner boomerangs. They will require a harder throw but will work better in windier conditions. Some will need a little more technique in the throw but are capable of differing flight paths, depending on how they are thrown.
