Arrows could puncture plate but only at EXTREME close range, according to a TV doc. about the Long Bow. I doubt there were many archers who had the kind of discipline to stand his ground to get a sure kill shot. hock: :!: Unless there's a line of infantry in front for protection.
Not that I know for sure, but just wanted to mention it.
