In another life, I was asked by a house-mate's kids if I could make 'em some boomerangs.
I quite happily did so, out of some old ply that was lying around. On testing they worked fine for me, but the kids really couldn't get the hang of 'em so, as with most 'meh' toys, they ended up as a lawn-mower obstacle course in the back yard.
A short while later we had some Koori mates drop in and one of 'em spotted the 'rangs. In short order he was having a good ol' time, lobbing 'em over the back fence. And yes, they did return.
When I mentioned that the kids couldn't work 'em, he just laughed and pointed out that I'd shaped 'em to be left handed, so they really didn't work well when thrown right handed. (Then the wing profile was flying 'backwards,' generating substantially less lift.)
Whoopsie! My bad.
