got one already, got stuck in a tree, I could see it for a long time, lol. then with the leaves coming down and all, it came back to me!!! I bought a replacement in the time being. it has a great response. pretty big/wide flight path so you really should be in a field not near trees (trust me, lol). the wind angle makes sense too, since the way you throw it, the wind carries it back to you on that last turn. the shape of this makes it easier to use than the classic boomerang shape, and while I would only get a few to come right back, I could usually get them close and take several steps to get it, lazy lazy, lol. it is a great beginner boomerang, and is easy enough to use, you probably won't want to try any thing else for a long time.
