Oh, just thinking about the throwing motion. In order to get the proper spin a boomerang has, which is what carries it such far distances and assists in it's return, he'd have to flick the handle when shooting the blade, otherwise it's liable to just kind of fly a bit then fall. Just a quick flick is all that is needed though, not something major or putting your whole body behind it; the forearm should be enough.
