snow snakes

these were used in a game played on the ice
they had feathers fastened to them and were slid at a red target on the ice and scored some way which i don't know

That reminds me of when we were kids, we would take 3 chicken feathers and poke them into the flat end of a dried corn cob and throw it. They spin.
