3 seconds to pick arrow off ground, notch, aim and release just doesnt add up
Don't know about an army doing it at 3 seconds per arrow with 100+ lbs bows. But I have seen a person fire 9 arrows in 30 seconds, with a 40ish pound longbow and back quiver.

Besides, aiming with a longbow doesn't take all that long anyway. A trained archer takes just a fraction of a second to aim.
