It could be even worse, a moderate wound could still lead to death, due to the fact that archers regularly stuck their arrows in the ground for ease of access during battle. This would cause at least some arrows to pick up C. tetani (the bacteria that causes tetanus), thus a wound, that would otherwise be nonlethal could kill you in a really horrible way (your organs shut down).
