When I was young (about 11) I took my moms old long bow and a hunting arrow with a broad bladed tip, and played Longfellow. My version though went like this “I shot an arrow into the air, it fell to earth I know not where…oh crap it’s stuck in the roof.” The arrow came point down straight into the roof. I had to go up and get it.

take a hint, Jason: Paige (or any other family member) does not want to play William Tell with you

There was the Beat writer (Burroughs) who accidentally shot his wife this way.

And this is about the time Paige ups the weaponry ante by discovering Congreve rockets.

I shot an arrow in the air,
It fell to earth, I knew not where.
But then one day, with rage profound,
The man it fell on came around.
He showed where my arrow fell
(A place I do not care to tell).
And now I do no longer care,
To shoot my arrows in the air.

I’ve always been fond of the L.A. Version of this:
I shot an arrow in the air
It stuck.
