Yup, very cool tradition.

News had a couple on that had twins - one born in 2011, one in 2012. Wonder if THEY plan on making a tradition out of THAT....

LOL--Well, I've heard it said that what you're doing at the year's change you'll be doing all year long

Great tradition!  I just may have to adopt it.  I make my own arrows from dogwood shoots and wild turkey fletchings, and that is the arrow I would shoot.

Back in the day when you could get good fireworks, I use to tape an M-80 to the tip of the arrow, light it and send it aloft. If timed right it would go off right at the apex. It was a great way to bring in the New Year and also celebrate the 4th of July.. :salute
