The bodkin was invented to pierce armor, but it still had to go through mail and heavy quilted cotton padding. Short of a headshot through the visor of a knight, most deaths through the armor were caused from blunt trauma. You didn't shoot a knight once, you had to do it repeatedly. In short, the armor worked because it took too much effort.
I started archery and bow making in Nov. of 2008, figuring I can always make those. I'll let you figure out why.
