Make an indoor/outdoor boomerang



Make an indoor boomerang that actually comes back. I recently bought a three winged boomerang, it is the only boomerang that I have boughten that actually comes back. When I showed it to my friends they all wanted one, but there isn't any stores around here that sell them. I decided to make them copies that work. If you have all the parts this can be a great day project for all ages. This boomerang is safe to use in the house because it is made of styrofoam. The final boomerang will weigh only 0.3 ounces (six grams). This boomerang will only go out about eight to ten feet and come back. Use this in a large room with no air movement. If you use this outside make sure there is very little wind. I like to use mine outside best. You will have to move about a step or two to catch. As the video will show. This will not come back 100% of the time.
