I wonder about that. I'm totally willing to walk into a series of fast punches, because I know they don't hurt so much. But intermittent hard ones back me off.

If you don't know the arrows won't hurt much, you might hesitate. But it would only take a bounce or two before you decide you can just ignore them. IMO anyway.
