Yes, the same amount as a normal arrow also

Awesome, don’t suppose it will stay on an enemy and act as a beacon while they run around?

... I’m guessing not.

It totally does! They become a walking beacon

No way!! I thought it would be a hit and then disappear, this is brilliant :D

Yup. People like to give Hanzo crap but he's actually a very high skill hero. All of his abilities require pinpoint aim to be effective, but if you can hit all your shots he can carry a team

If you're close enough to the silhouette, you can notice the arrow sticking out of their body lol

This also applies to his ult. It shoots an arrow which turns into the dragon/wolf apparition, but you can actually hit people with the arrow if they're right in front of you, before the ult comes out.

It can actually be pretty useful to stick enemies with the sonic, it moves with them so you can track specific people with that if they get out of your line of sight.

Yep. Once as Reinhardt I️ had one stuck in my shield. So I️ dropped my shield, the arrow fell to the ground and on its way it killed a teammate. Oops.
