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).

Right. And I think having a reproduction pavise might be useful as well. Still, I imagine I would be cross if an arrow poked me in the arm through my shield.

Cross, but both alive and still capable of fighting since that wound might not be disabling. Which is quite bad for the archer because chances are you are now in close combat with him.
