Interesting stuff .... Lots of towns have a "Butts rd" which I guess would be where people shot arrows. The one in Salisbury, I seem to remember, now has a little park where kids like playing football.

..and some barrows were used for target practise like the Butt hill: http://www.themodernantiquarian.com/site/7082
or are butts in folklore at least
