This company was great to deal with. The boomerang not so much. It was exciting to have a real wood boomerang. My son was thrilled because they are so hard to find. However, we only threw it a few times before it hit the ground and splintered. We weren't particular abusive and we used it on a grassy field. It couldnt take the fall I guess. But hey, the 5 times we threw it -- it came back like a champ! The company was kind in its customer dealings after the fact. My best advice is if you are going to buy this -- might as well get two so you have a back up.

The toy lasted only two days, we went to the park to use it and it dropped a distance of about eight inches and broke right in half! I was speechless!!

It actually does return, but is not a good performer. Check with a company like Colorado or Channel Craft; even the Aerobie is easier to throw (all these companies sell through Amazon). Ben Ruhe, the man who is essentially the father of the American boomerang hobby, took a look at this and termed it a "garbage boomerang". If you're a beginner, the Colorado Aspen(available through Amazon) is one of the better beginner boomerang Amazon sells; go to a boomerang discussion group and you'll get lots of help (including how to get left handed versions).
