One of the places I worked about 15 years ago found us all setting around bore out of our skulls. I found a piece of packing foam, paper clips, tape, and rubber bands. No doubt in my mind that you could kill a rabbit with one. We were sticking the little metal arrow in the foam out to 30 yards!

I always carry a couple of feathers in a small baggie that has a couple of feathers with fletch tape applied and the backing still on. Never have had to use it, but it's there for "just in case".
