I've just been reading an article in a historical journal about the necessity for medieval cavalry archers to dismount before shooting in order to have a solid base to draw against.

Obviously elves don't have this problem.

I'd have thought so. Obviously you couldn't handle a longbow on horseback, but I don't know about something small. The issue was the problem of leverage and having nothing to brace against on a moving horse.
