That archer only needs one shot. The arrow is the Arrow of Yondu, found in a crashed metal ship that fell from the sky a few years ago.

Maybe it is Prince Herbert shooting. He packs quite a punch with his arrows.

Lets be fair. The bow is clearly using magic to be easily concealed and manuevered with while magically releasing with the force of a heavy war bow.
