This has been a thing for the past few versions, but I have had this issue on a server and a single player world.
To reproduce, shoot arrows at a phantom. Usually happens while it’s diving or going back into the sky.

Arrows bouncing off of flying mobs

When you shoot Mobs with arrows in certain cases the arrows bounce causing it to be difficult to hit the Mobs in some cases.

Arrows bounce of entities at the edge of their hitbox.

Sometimes the arrows that the skeletons shoot at you don't hurt you, they bounce off or just pass by.

@WeirdPlop , This was tested on a server, but the same issue also occurs in player-created worlds. This didn't happen before (in previous versions). I'll check back later to provide testing, but that'll be later.
This video is on version 1.21.10, this issue is very noticeable when firing at phantoms that are coming straight towards the player. The clip is from me dealing with this in survival, I might try to record a better reproduction later. The bow being used here has infinity, which might affect things.
This should be compared with MC-302221 which I believe is the same bug, because (1) the arrow bounces of a moving entity, and (2) the bug is not visual. The bug on this page specifies phantoms, but this also happens with other mobs, as seen in MC-302221. One of these bug reports should be marked as a duplicate of the other.
Contrast with: MC-102732 which in the innitial bug report description says it is a visual bug and/or a desync between client and server. The later videos however appear to show this bug.
These reports should be centralized on one issue, if they are the same or marked as duplicates if this is still the same bug as reported innitially in 2016.
I can’t reproduce this. Please upload a video recording of the issue with the debug screen (F3) enabled. You can record your screen using:
On Windows, the built-in Snipping Tool app (shift+win+S)
On macOS, the the built-in Screenshot app (shift+cmd+5)
Third-party software such as OBS
It is recommended that you trim and/or reduce the quality of your recording so it is under 10MB, as this will make the upload much quicker.
