    Just use the translate dials to rotate into the vector you want it to fly and move the arrow through the desired number of keyframes. For instance when your character releases the arrow, say at keyframe 120, (assuming its 30fps and you are 4 secs in) jump 45 kefyrames and translate arrow to where you want it stuck in the target. Then continue with creating animation at that keyframe. Now when you play you character will launch the arrow 4 seconds in and it flys for 1.5 secs before it splits the apple.

    You are talking about blocks, I think you are in the Animate Timeline.
    Try this:
    Switch to the normal Timeline. Make a keyframe at start, move the arrow to another point in the scene, make another keyframe at the end of the Timeline.
