A 150lb Italian yew bow with a very hard arrowhead shooting at a steel breastplate at twenty yards. Will it penetrate?

Shot in Visby, 2016. Many thanks to my guide Johan Käll, the armourer Albert Collins, and to Stian Green for providing the reverse-angle footage and the still of the arrowhead. The bow is shot by an Englishman, Nigel Packwood.
