Well, my archery class never covered battlefield volley fire, so I really couldn't say. (It didn't use a war-bow either.)
I think you're seriously underestimating the desired accuracy for a weapon that's going to be delivering plunging fire, though. You may not be aiming at an individual target, but you don't have all that much margin of error either, considering how much space and time your arrow has to go wrong in.
