Real Archers these days don't particularly get in fights, but if you mean videos of those guys pulling off really cool trick shots etc, those are very often not accurate in terms of real archery. They use a very low draw-weight and often don't pull the string all the way back. It hits and penetrates light targets, but wouldnt' do much to anyone wearing any kind of armor. If you mean back in the medieval days of armies with platoons of archers, yes, they probably DID take around this long to draw the bowstring back.
