Compound bows do not suffer from the paradox in the horizontal plane, this is because a release aid is used.

I have heard all sorts of wives tails about "when" an arrow finishes "wobbling", usually being around 20 yards or slightly less.

I would not be able to say what an accurate or exact distance would be for the arrow to fully level out... I would imagine the most accurate way to tell would be high speed camera...

But as a rule of thumb, somewhere between 10 - 20 yards couldnt be too far wrong.
