If it's aluminum, yes, it's perfectly safe. If it's carbon, I doubt I'd try it.A lot depends on how acid the soil is in your neck of the woods.

Maybe not.I shotan aluminum arrow out of the arrow bucket at my club. I don't know how long it had outside. Fortunately, I flexed it prior to shooting and it broke very easily. The corrosion had eaten the aluminum from the inside. The outside looked fine.

Don't chance it unless you test it thoroughly.
