An arrow shot vertically into the air will lose velocity and reverse direction. When it begins to descend, the fletching will quickly cause it to re-orient with the point downward. It will accelerate until it reaches its terminal velocity. Assuming an atmospheric density of 1.3 kg/m^3, and an arrow with a drag coefficient of 1.2, a weight of 0.23 N (200 grains), cross-sectional area of 23.48 mm^2, I calculate a terminal velocity of 112.6 m/s. That's about the same as the initial velocity when shot from a compound bow! One question remains, however: does the arrow have enough time during its descent to reach terminal velocity? That would depend on how high you shot it in the first place. Roughly speaking, though, the faster it was going when it left the bow, the faster it will be going when it reaches the ground.
No because it mite come down and kill u
The title 'a friend of mine' (1973) is still on air frequently on the Arrow Classic Rock station of the Netherlands.
Whether or not an air rifle is more powerful than a cross bow depends on the air rifle or cross bow. Generally a hunter's cross bow is more powerful than a child's bb gun. However, during the Napoleonic Wars, the Austrians had an extremely powerful repeating air rifle. It could shoot several hundred meters. Austrian solders armed with them could shoot Napoleon's solders from such a great distance that Napoleon's solders could do nothing about it. Eventually they ran out of bullets.
It's got a bang/bruise
no, i don't think so. but he was in world war 2
No, it is not safe to shoot an arrow straight up into the air. The arrow can come down at a high speed and cause injury or damage to people or property. It is important to always follow proper archery safety guidelines and never shoot arrows straight up into the air.

Shooting an arrow straight up in the air can be dangerous because you can't control where it will land. It can hit someone or something when it falls back down due to gravity. Additionally, it is not a safe practice in archery as it can damage the arrow and the bow.
No What goes up, must come down. And YOU are standing under where it went up. A falling arrow has enough energy to cause serious injury or death.
shoot an arrow up into the air within a big group and the last person to move wins
That is an air embolism. If you shoot air into the bloodstream it can cause death. If you shoot it into a muscle it can cause an abcess.
It can be done. However, the characteristics of how the arrow travels underwater will be substantially different than how it flies through the air.
yes. you can't blame the arrow, only the one shooting it
shoot an arrow up into the air within a big group and the last person to move wins
No , because then it could somehow land on you.
Because the come close to each other
