A boomerang is a ranged weapon, designed for throwing.
When thrown, it will travel in a circular path clockwise from the direction thrown, hitting anything in its path. If it makes its way back to you there is a (dexterity in 20) chance of catching the boomerang; otherwise it hits you. Cursed ones always hit you. Boomerangs will not return if their path is blocked by a wall. The exact path of the thrown boomerang is shown below in order 1-9 for each direction.
Despite some redeeming features the unusual throwing mechanics make this a rarely used weapon.
