As it says on the wiki, it can easily kill rabbits and birds in a hurry, and once it hits it's target, you can hold space (or whatever key you have bound to auto-pickup, mine is C) to guaruntee that you catch it. Also, it can be used as a cheap and efficient means (compared to blowdarts) to safely aggro creatures such as deerclops, krampus, and koalefant, where you can then finish of the latter two in melee combat. The damage isn't that great, but it's enough to kill one pig per boomerang, which might be a good alternative to melee combat if you are good enough at catching them, since their kiting AI is quite annoying.

In shorts, it's not that bad
