Pinchita
A homemade dart or projectile traditionally crafted by children. It is made by bending a bobby pin and sharpening its tip by grinding it against a rough, unplastered wall, then attaching it to the stiff midrib of a coconut palm leaf with a rubber band. It is fired using another rubber band as a launcher. Kids used these to hunt small wildlife or to stick them into trees (in the Dominican Republic, a pincho is a bobby pin).
The Pinchita is one of those old school games you do not really see anymore in Santo Domingo.
