Did anyone make 'Dutch Arrows' when they were kids..
IE; Knicks the jokers from your dads pack of card, get a nice straight piece of willow wood, let it dry out a bit, sharpen one end and split the other end for about 2 inches, make some flights out of the jokers, put them into the 2 slots, tie the end of the willow stick to stop flights coming out. Job done.. Next nick a lace out of one of your dads workboots, tie a knot in one end, go down the longest field you could find.. wrap lace round the shaft of the arrow – some where near the flight, allow lace to fold over the knot and wrap the lace around your fingers till you could hold the arrow near the point… aim for the sky. throw with all your might at the horizon.. a good arrow could land over the length of a footy field away… brilliant, when with mates like Agincourt..
