I can shoot arrows with my Dendra pauldrons. I have trouble throwing javelins, but I think it is because of all the weight on my shoulders rather than interference from the pauldron. Need to experiment more. FWIW my armour wasn't made to fit me. It is a complete fluke that it fits. Today I have to lose an inch or so around the waist so it doesn't pinch (too much Christmas celebration).
Also, try not to confuse different time periods. When the Dendra panoply was being worn the type of fighting was completely different to the time of the Trojan War. The armour of the Trojan war era needs to function differently to the Dendra armour.
