YES they do travel up.Your bow is pointed up when shot, even at close yardage. Your sight is above your arrow and this may make it seem that you are shooting flat and straight at close distances but you are not.
If you don't believe it.Go and shoot at the target at 3 feet with your 20 yard pin and see where you hit.You will be way low but at 20 yards your dead on.This means it has to go up to hit dead on at 20 yards.
well ya?if your bow is pointed up,of course your arrow will travel up,but an arrow when shot does not travel up! Lets not mislead people here.A bow is not a gun (even if it`s a bowtech) a bullet will travel up,an arrow will not.Let me say that a differant way,ARROWS WHEN SHOT,DO NOT RISE. If your bow shoots flat at 5 yards to 35yards than your shooting a fast bow.This is possible even with a short draw if you have the right bow.Anyone who doubts this needs to call your local bowtech dealer.In fact my brother in law has a martin fury thats shoots a 409 grain arrow 320 fps,now if he shot a 350 grain arrow he would shoot 350 fps WITH A MARTIN! Go back to 35 40 yards and guess what? YOU`RE SHOOTIN FLAT.
No, they dont travel flat...the travel in an arc. They don't nessecarily rise when shot but start their path from the bow at an angle relative to a straight line to the target. If not the arrow would fall well short as it starts dropping the second it leaves the string.
