make an arrow with the aero dynamics that it would raise, like an airplane,
Ok, I know this discussion is silly now, but if you added lifting surfaces to the projectile, you will be adding drag, which might help out to intermediate distances, but will make it drop like a rock once it gets out to a certain point where the initial energy gets used up.

...just like a rifled shotgun slug with the ballistic coefficient of a brick.
