The Longbow Triumph

You can choose one creature you've seen in the past minute and find an arrow that flies towards that creature. In order to skirt the five foot disadvantage of a longbow, you're going to shoot it like in the opposite direction or away then rely on the seeking arrow to bring it back. You fire an arrow in the direction away from the polar bear but in midair, it turns around and goes back towards, I assume, the one that attacked you.
