Sometimes, arrows miss the target. And that is ok.

What is not ok is that the arrows keep their kinetic force even after they hit in the ground. This happened just a moment ago. A skeleton shot an arrow, it missed the shot.

After killing said skeleton, the arrow was stuck on the ground. I attempted to retrieve the arrow by walking over it. It did not work. So I started breaking blocks around it and stood there even after I removed 3 blocks around it.

When the 4th block was removed, the arrow suddenly hit me following the trajectory it was following before, as if the kinetic force was still there, trapped. I guess the skeleton did not miss the shot in the end.
