Modern
boomerangs used for sport may be made from plywood or plastics such
as ABS, polypropylene, phenolic paper, or carbon fibre-reinforced plastics. Boomerangs come in
many shapes and sizes depending on their geographic or tribal origins and intended function. Many
people think of a boomerang as the Australian type, although today there are many types of more
easily usable boomerangs, such as the cross-stick, the pinwheel, the tumble-stick, the Boomabird,
and many other less com traditionally made of wood, but boomerang-like devices have also been

An important distinction should be made between returning boomerangs and non-returning
boomerangs. Returning boomerangs fly and are examples of the earliest heavier-than-air human-
made flight. A returning boomerang has two or more airfoil wings arranged so that the spinning
creates unbalanced aerodynamic forces that curve its path so that it travels in an ellipse, returning to
its point of origin when thrown correctly. While a throwing stick can also be shaped overall like a
returning boomerang, it is designed to travel as straight as possible so that it can be aimed and
thrown with great force to bring down the traditionally made of wood, but boomerang-like devices
have also been made from bones. Modern boomerangs used for sport may be made from plywood
or plastics such as ABS, polypropylene, phenolic paper, or carbon fibre-reinforced plastics.

thrown with great force to bring down the game. Its surfaces are therefore symmetrical and not with
the aerofoils that give the returning boomerang its characteristic curved flight.
The most recognisable type of the boomerang is the L-shaped returning boomerang; while non-
returning boomerangs, throwing sticks (or kylies) were used as weapons, returning boomerangs
have been used primarily for leisure or recreation. Returning boomerangs were also used to decoy
birds of prey, thrown above the long grass to frighten game birds into flight and into waiting nets.
Modern returning boomerangs can be of various shapes or sizes.
Just like the hunting boomerang of the Aboriginal Australians, the valari also did not return to the
thrower but flew straight. Boomerangs used in competitions have specially designed air-foiling
mechanism to enable return, but the hunting Boomerangs are meant to float straight and hit the
target. Valaris are made in many shapes and sizes. The history of the valari is rooted in ancient
times and evidences can be found in Tamil Sangam literature "Purananuru". The usual form consists
of two limbs set at an angle; one is thin and tapering while the other is rounded and is used as a
handle. Valaris are usually made of iron which is melted and poured into moulds, although some
may have wooden limbs tipped with 
 game. Its surfaces are therefore symmetrical and not with the aerofoils that give the returning
