Sweet. I recall doing this very thing, sans the arrow-in-forehead part. I was struck (not literally, of course) with the stupidity of the act when an arrow struck the ground not three feet from me. I learned “the easy way,” which is totally out of character for me.

After that, I only shot flu-flu (if that’s even what they’re called) arrows into the air. They have a huge wad of fletching that slows them rapidly so they drift back to the ground. They are for bow hunting birds.

Now I’ll crawl back under my rock…

I shot an arrow into the air, it fell to earth I know not where.

A horrifying little story, but you tell it wonderfully.
