No reason why you couln't do that with the blunt. Some sort of speed and direction sensor, then factor it up to how a real shaft would behave.
Um, have you seen the TV games where you swing a sword around over a sensor to fight villains on the TV screen? I've seen both a lightsabre version and a LOTR version recently... Or for that matter, there's the Sony Eyetoy for the PS2...
Lets think... with an eye toy type of setup, you'd need a bow with a damper (like the Airbow, the Exerset or even the Formaster) and a way to enter your arrow characteristics (maybe type of arrow and measured speed). Then the cam on top of the TV would detect things like when you released, and where the bow was pointing (maybe even alter the arrow behaviour depending on the mistakes you make!) and the resulting arrow trajectory could be displayed on a TV screen.
How's that? Sort of thing you were thinking of?
