Discus launched flying football

A throwing and/or catching toy, comprising:

• an elongated body defined as comprising a longitudinal axis along a length of the body, wherein a largest width of the body is at least 3.0 inches;
• a support non-movably attached to the body, where a first end of the support is attached to the body and a second end of the support extends along the longitudinal axis beyond a back end of the body;
• a lift-generating wing non-movably attached to the support near and/or at a center of the wing, the wing having a left wing portion and a right wing portion extending from the center of the wing to a respective distal end;
• a horizontal stabilizer and a vertical stabilizer attached to the support near the second end of the support, where the horizontal stabilizer and vertical stabilizer are disposed behind the lift-generating wing;
• at least one finger hold extension extending from the distal end of either the left wing portion or right wing portion, the finger hold extension configured to allow a user to throw the toy in a discus-launched manner and the body configured to be caught by the user.

A throwing and/or catching toy, comprising:

• an elongated body defined as comprising a longitudinal axis along a length of the body, wherein at least a portion of a front end of the elongated body comprises a resilient foam having a Shore A durometer hardness equal to or less than 25;
• a support non-movably attached to the body, where a first end of the support is attached to the body and a second end of the support extends along the longitudinal axis beyond a back end of the body;
• a lift-generating wing non-movably attached to the support near and/or at a center of the wing, the wing having a left wing portion and a right wing portion extending from the center of the wing to a respective distal end;
• a horizontal stabilizer and a vertical stabilizer attached to the support near the second end, where the horizontal stabilizer and vertical stabilizer are disposed behind the lift-generating wing;
• and
• at least one finger hold extension extending from the distal end of either the left wing portion or right wing portion, the finger hold extension configured to allow a user to throw the toy in a discus-launched manner and the body configured to be caught by the user.
