Think what you want, but I definitely know that there was even a special hook on the armor to make it more convenient to shoot. And in general, all your praised elven arrows and bows are nonsense. Firstly, elves are not professionals in this matter. They can only make bows that are suitable for hunting. Secondly, even to pierce chainmail, you need a sharp iron tip. I doubt they can make something like that while sitting in trees and eating bananas.

But you had to spend ten years learning to shoot it.

Well, he's not entirely fictional. Some, like elves, actually lived in the forest, in small villages, only they had normal ears. And how can you not remember Robin Hood - he reminds me of an elf in some ways.
