No. Ultra light arrows with ultra strong bows can go almost 100m/s. Most hunting bows try for 200ft/sec, and most target bows are in the order of 100ft/sec. To get high speeds, the arrow weight is reduced more and more (think out why), and flight control is lost.
How high?
Vf^2=Vi^2 + 2g h
0=121^2-2*9.8h
h appx = 700m
It is possible to shoot an arrow at a speed as high as 121 m/s.
(a) If friction is neglected, how high would an arrow launched at this speed rise if shot straight up?
