Are my efforts more amusing than most?

I guess we'll never know.

Surely you had a prior opinion, else you would not be wondering "just
how I would do it". For the record, I'd simply suggest removing the
tail feathers and replacing it with a weight to keep the thing in
balance. Assuming it had a significant arrow point (some do) that
should be sufficient. Otherwise reshape the tail into an arrow point -
the thing would be oriented in the same direction but the shape would
now point the other way.
