^ good post, just a note - the 20 arrows thing is both possible, and not really an extreme... it just requires experienced archers - if you practice something for years, you get good at it - good enough that it's hard for ppl who aren't experienced to find it believable... ie: if you presented a medieval person with an automobile and boasted that you could take it thru a windy road @ 80 mph, being that they'd have difficulty operating it at all - they'd be skeptical of your claim, which to you on the other hand is simply everyday life
and yeah, they would'nt have to keep that rate of fire up for long usually... the survivors of that type of treatment usually decide to run away and live to fight another day
