  1. What if you had a palvese with a cut out, vertical slit extending from the top of the shield down towards the middle of it, and at the bottom it had a long metal spike. That way an archer could both aim and fire through the slit, and the single spike at the bottom would allow the archer to swivel the shield in it's place if necessary so you could adjust your aim from side to side and fire "through" your shield while covering a maximum amount of your body. Perhaps even your head if the shield is tall enough or if you are crouching behind it.
