No. I have J\"{o}rg to do my reality checking, if any is really needed. Are you in dispute with the numbers I suggested? (I've seen it done, if that reassures you any.) My whole point was, of course, that the "three arrows in air at same time" feat was _difficult_, hence the value put on experienced and well-trained archers.

"Accuracy" is hardly an issue if the target is "Them froggies, *yonder*". [sweeping arm gesture] Rate of fire is much more important under typical conditions of close-formation mass battles. (Ask a napoleonic war or ACW period commander (via Channeling, of course) if you doubt this.)
