To be fair, an arrow released from a bow with a draw weight of over 150 pounds could easily launch an arrow that could pass through multiple people at close range -- depending on how light their armor was. I've seen bows with a third of that draw weight completely pass through a deer. Obviously, certain factors have to be met -- distance being the most important and then shot placement.
