Some functions you'll probably use for shooting arrows include - Instance(), SetPosition(), SetRotation(), AddForce(),SetCollisionType(), SetMass()

 

Shooting arrows works like this in my game, Hunt For Food -

 

function Script:ShootArrow()
local arrow=self.arrow:Instance()
arrow.script.livetime=Time:GetCurrent()+15000
arrow.script.active=true
arrow:SetMass(.5)
arrow:SetPosition(Transform:Point(0,0,.75,player.camera,nil))
arrow:SetRotation(-player.camRotation.x-90,player.camera:GetRotation(true).y+180,-player.camRotation.z)
arrow:AddForce(0,1250,0,false)
end

 

I should also note that my arrows have a script to deal damage on collision. The script looks something like this -

 

function Script:Collision(entity,position,normal,speed)
if self.active==true then
self.active=false
if entity.script then
if entity.script.hurtable==true then
 self.entity:SetCollisionType(Collision.None)
 self.entity:SetMass(0)
 self.entity:SetShape(nil)
 self.entity:SetPosition(position)
 self.entity:SetParent(entity)
 if entity.script.health>0 then
 entity.script:Hurt(math.random(5,8.5),player)
 end
 self.livetime=Time:GetCurrent()+3000
end
end
end
end

 

I hope this helps!
