Oh, misty eye of the mountain below,
Keep careful watch of my brothers’ souls.
And should the skies be filled with
Fire and smoke...
Keep watching over Durins’ sons.
If this is to end in fire,
Then we should all burn together.
Watch the flames climb high
Into the night…
Although they killed the book in the films, I love this song which Ed Sheeran wrote for 'the Desolation of Smaug'. :-)
Anyway: I made an arrow with a fire cage for a point.
I waited for twilight after a rainy day and filled the cage with candlewax wrapped in cotton drenched in lamp oil.
Notched the arrow, put a torch to it, gave the wax some time to get real hot.
Draw, and… well, see (and also: hear) for yourself!

Note that I did not dare to use my horsebow for fear things would somehow go wrong and I would damage it, but next time I definitely will.
