flāngeweorc, n.n: arrow-work, archery.

Check out the fancy flāngeweorc on the Franks Casket. This panel of the Franks Casket shows Ægil (or Egil) and his wife enclosed in the keep of a castle, with Ægil shooting arrows against attacking troops. The name Ægili is written with runes above the archer.
