Yeah, that’s why try multiple times and aim higher every time until 45°
Once you reach that, if you are still falling short, you know you have no chance, unless you increase the launch speed.
Of course, you can try to properly calculate drag for each projectile and set that as the maximum, but it’s fine for a one-off, assuming you have enough arrows to try again.
The optimal launch angle would only be 45 in a vacuum. It’ll be lower if you’re on Earth where there’s air resistance.
