I gat interested in archery in my youth, and on occassion I saw a group of shooters from some distance away, say half a klick, on a little hill. This gave me a good vantage point to watch the arroes fly to the target over the whole length of the range. It l;ooked like a thin black line zipping across the intervening space - this was a flat trajectory, not an artillery style shot. The black blur had no discernable shape other than "thin and long" and moved rather faster than my eyeballs could track. Arrow-cutting MIGHT work on long, arced shots - but I'm cynical.
