Thank you Charles and Bill!

This is fine. Personally I like writing the arrows in full, three  
times, but getting rid of the arrowheads on two of them is still clear  
I think...it all depends on how others read it. But I can read this  
with two of the arrowheads dropped...

And thank you, Bill, for the suggestion of writing three smaller  
arrows...that is exactly what many people do and it actually became  
symbols in their own rights..small clustered arrows in groups mean  
multiple movements done quickly in the same direction...
