At 50 yards, if you were shooting from the ground, the arrows probably buried themselves at a very flat angle, and went just under the grass. Due to physic, they always end up in a straight line from where you shot the arrow. I accidently launched an arrow by having my release a little too light. I just walked a straight line and found the arrow in ground about 800 ft away. I was in the back yard, and the arrow thankfully went over 2 houses and landed in an empty lot.
