What happens when you shoot arrows directly up?

When you shoot arrows directly up into the air, they eventually reach their peak and then fall back to the ground due to gravity. During their descent, these arrows can pose a serious hazard to anyone in the vicinity. The sharp tips of the arrows, combined with the high velocity at which they can come back down, can result in significant injury or even fatality if they strike someone. This is why it's considered extremely dangerous and unsafe to shoot arrows vertically. Proper hunting and archery practices always stress the importance of ensuring a safe backstop and minimizing risks to others, highlighting the potential danger of shooting in such a manner.
