Tricks?
Kegan:
Here's this for a neat trick.
A small lever arm, with a little bull's eye on the bottom. On the other end of the lever is a balloon. The little bull's eye is shot, flipping the balloon slowly into the air, and you draw and shoot the balloon as it falls.
How's that sound?
Barrage:
Try it and let us know (or better yet take video lol)

Why waste your time on tricks when you could be conducting tests!!!
There's always debate on the following topics:
Do slightly crooked arrows fly just as good as perfectly straight ones?
Are two fletches just as good as three or four?
Are longer arrows easier to aim?
Are VERY long arrows easier to aim?
How does bone compare to stone (arrowheads) for penetration? For cutting flesh?
What penetrates better, serrated edged or straight edged arrowheads?
How much arrow spine variance can you shoot with before you see a noticeable difference in shooting under 40 yrds? 30 yrds? 20 yrds?
How much fletching length variance can you shoot with before you see a noticeable difference in shooting under 40 yrds? 30 yrds? 20 yrds?
How much arrowhead width variance can you shoot with before you see a noticeable difference in shooting under 40 yrds? 30 yrds? 20 yrds?
How much overall arrow weight variance can you shoot with before you see a noticeable difference in shooting under 40 yrds? 30 yrds? 20 yrds?
How much bowstring weight variance can you shoot with before you see a noticeable difference in shooting under 40 yrds? 30 yrds? 20 yrds?
Many of these questions have been answered, but only a handful of people are doing the testing....and they are sometimes biased. There's always a need for more data.
Oh, but to answer your question, make a bunch of soft-pointed arrows that can be used to shoot yourself and your buddies and a whole new world of possibilities opens up.
