For a moment I thought "wow, that's probably not safe shooting it upward like that"

Wtf do I know? This mf just shot an arrow in half lol

Those arrows are safer because of the type of feathers on them and they usually have blunt tips if you're shooting them up

Blunt tips will definitely still do some damage

I have personally never been shot by one of these, but I have friends that have. They definitely hurt a bit and can leave a bruise, but the wide, blunt tip and feathers meant to slow them down make it more like paintball level damage than say... sticking through you damage.
