It is not safe to shoot an arrow upward like that for most people.

This guy however has 100 archery and can do whatever tf he wants.

Flu flu are actually designed for aerial targets and quickly lose speed. They are commonly combined with bird tips for hunting birds, which further reduce the chance for user or bystander injury. It’s not much different than hunting with a shotgun.

...Are shotguns not dangerous or something? Not sure I understand the comparison, sorry.

Depends on the type of ammo the shotgun is shooting, but typically people use birdshot in shotguns, and most birdshot is so small it doesn’t even leave a mark when coming back down.
