Physics problem?

In the Battle of Hastings in A.D. 1066, during which the Normans of France defeated the Saxons in England, an important role was played by Norman archers who shot arrows over a wall of shields erected by the Saxons. If the Norman bows had a maximum range of 359 m and the arrows were shot at an elevation of 53�, how close were the Normans to the Saxons? ume that the arrows reached their target.
