I made a miniature arrow, with a bodkin stile head, (unfletched at the moment) and tested it against one of those little soft drink cans.

Not bad eh! So even if those mice make themselves armour out of beer cans I'll still get 'em!
The head was made from a nail, nice soft steel which is easy to drill and file. I sawed the end off the nail, drilled a hole down it and then epoxied it onto another nail so that I could hold it while I filed it to shape. A bit of heat removed it from the the nail once it was finished, the arrow shaft is a wooden skewer from the cooking section of the local store.
