I've personally been bruised by an arrow that hit my shoulder and also felt
the impact of another arrow that landed next to my foot. Some of those things
hit HARD.

No. You don't shoot them in the back. You inform the marshall of what the 
fighter is deliberately doing and that marshall had better have words with
the fighter. Doing evil for an evil doesn't bring good. And yes, if a marshal
sees you shooting someone in the back to "get even" he should eject you as
well.
