When I was a kid, my dad and I would take old bent arrows and stick them in the ground in front of the target and take turns trying to cut it. If you didn't cut it at the designated mark, it didnt count.

Knew a guy in high school(I knowI know, Inever beleived him either)who swore he could light a strike anywhere match without breaking it. We tried alot, but only succeeded in busting them.

Always wanted to try the bottle opener trick though!
