When a skeleton shoots an arrow at a player who is blocking with a shield, the arrow sometimes becomes stuck in the front of the shield instead of bouncing off. The arrow stays suspended in midair, visually attached to the shield, until the player moves or unblocks. Once the player steps aside, the arrow then falls normally.
