Sure. If it hits squarely at less than 50m. But a man in armor could wade
through arrow fire at longer range, especially against glancing or high angle
shots. The killing power of bows against heavy cavalry is the damage done to
the horses, which breaks up the cohesion of the charge. Kills on knights at
close range will be minimal compared to the disruptive effect of killing the
mounts.
