Arrow impact sounds like this thud have long been staples of game, cartoon and video sound design, where a clear hit marker is needed without dialogue or music. Online, short single-hit effects spread through soundboards and editing packs because they are easy to layer over gameplay, archery clips and skits. This version is valued for its clean, close thud with no extra whoosh or background noise, making it simple to loop, trim or stack with other impact sounds for a heavier landing in memes and short form videos.
