Some interesting archery demonstrates from Tod's Workshop (https://youtu.be/Avz1O27Dz50 ). I don't know what the draw weight on these bows are, but I'm struck towards the end that at anything but close range, it seems like you'd absolutely have time to raise a shield in response...

Unfortunately his tests also show that at that range the arrows go through shields, at least the one he had.

'Go through' but there's an energy issue here. he showed they might go through with enough force to penetrate the army wielding the shield. But that's a potentially non-lethal wound (and many shields are bossed).

That's not the same as punching through with enough force to offend the body behind the shield through armor and padding. Crossing that space is harder, because the arrow is scraping past the shield as it does.

Also keep in mind, Tod's lockdown longbow is at the upper-limit of launch energies for bows, being tested at extremely short range, with shots striking dead-on against targets which absorb all of the energy. It's a best-case for the arrow, worse-case for the armor.

On all of that and how things potentially change, see:https://acoup.blog/2019/07/04/collections-archery-distance-and-kiting/ …
