Someone smarter than me needs to figure out what speed that arrow would need to travel to go 100yds in about 1 second.
After posting this I realized that is seems obvious. 100 yards (300 feet) in 1 second equals 300 feet per second....which sounds reasonable enough.

However, an arrow that leaves a bow at 300 feet per second will not still be traveling that fast downrange at 300 feet.

I would bet that in order for an arrow to cover 300 feet in 1 second it would need to be traveling at 400+ fps because it is going to start slowing down as soon as it leaves the bow.
