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).

This was a good price but on sale. If I paid the regular price I would not have been happy. It seems very lightweight like it may not last too long.

I am giving it as a gift to replace a broken one (was not wood) and I think I will be buying another one soon.

The boomerang itself is easily scratched and broken. After just a few tries it was scratched, chipped, and peeling. I think it is pretty big and for long distance throwing since i got it stuck on my neighbors roof and then when i lost it forever in the water. I think its hard to use, i never got it to come back but throwing it is still fun.

I got this boomerang for my nephew ; it was a thrill to discover how fun it was for the whole family. It was a good excuse to go to the park and run and have a great time.
Very durable but be aware it is hard so don't play with it indoors.

Toy was ok. Rough. Not well made but a child will have fun with it as will the family dog.

We bought this for our son's 13th birthday. He tried it out on a soft grassy field. It broke in half within minutes. Now he gets to play with two halves of a genuine wood boomerang. Does anyone know of a decent boomerang that will last maybe more than a day or two?

This was the first time I ever delt with a boomerang and I had high hopes that were shattered by the quality of the boomerang. I only got to throw it 3 times and it never came back, I could deal with that because it was a little windy outside. On my third throw it went up in 1 piece and hit the ground in 2 pieces, I was pretty disappointed it didn't last longer than a minute.

I suppose this would have been more fun if we learned how to use it better. But it did hold up very well to wedging itself into the ground, bouncing off of trees, and being stolen by the dog.
