I think what you depict is also not right. I'm fairly sure the projectiles were shot or throw from the front ranks. You can imagine it's impossible to hurl or shoot at someone with friends in front of you, especially when those friends are face to face with your target. As you can also see in the Bayeux, the rear ranks were holding the collection of spears, the front is throwing them.
