A throwing board, also referred to as a throwing stick, is a tool used to throw projectiles or hunt animals. It is a long and narrow board that is held at one end and thrown with force to project a spear-like object towards a target. In some cultures, it is known as a boomerang, whereas others refer to it as a kylie. Some also use the term atlatl, which is a variation of the Mesoamerican term for the tool. Regardless of its name, the throwing board has been used for centuries as an essential tool for hunting, warfare, and sport.
