Arrows do flex a bit with compound, only vertically (there was a slow-mo of Archery-mum on a thread in the last couple of days).
Just wondering Geoff if that's when they're landing, or jut before they are landing?? If it's as they are landing I would say that the bending there is due to the fact the arrow isn't hitting the boss straight and the rear of the arrow is trying to overtake the front of the arrow.

It's honestly scary just how much arrows flex when they hit. Sometimes I'm surprised that they don't break everytime they're shot!!
