I believe a simple roll is all that would be required here, if the target is not resisting then there is no resistance.
To quote the FAQ
Q: So, what happens if you don't defend? A straight 14 resistance by
the lucky attacker?
A: Let the lucky attacker roll an Ability test (with no AP loss if
he fails). If he succeeds, then the defender is driven to whatever
level of defeat is indicated by the die roll.

Why is a comptetent archer /ever/ missing such a target? The coup de grace rules might be appropriate for this situation.

Yes, with suitable improvisation penalty as its not really a proper dodge arrows ability.
