Think "We met the brothers who drove arrows" refers to heroin addicts. Matches with "And shot assumptions wide and narrow": narrow -> satisfy their greed (selfish attitude), wide -> an alternative (conciousness-expanding) way to interpret our life. There is no good or bad: the drug probably kills you, on the other other hand you'll experience advanced views of our life.
