I do find it a little hard to believe, granted mine only top out in the low 90's#.

Safer to knock on a door with a few arrows, especially if there's any possibility of someone waiting with a vat of boiling oil on the battlements overhead......or maybe someone momentarily stuck their head round the door and blew a resounding raspberry at the attackers :P

The story was that the guys were fleeing back to the castle and got through the door and slammed it as the Welsh guys fired the last round of arrows. They weren't just shooting at a closed door.
I'm pretty sure a similar scene was depicted in "Ivanhoe".
