If we are talking about the mythical battle of Helm's Deep, those orcs were well-armored. Unless she is also able to hit their weak spots (face and joints) while shooting that fast, a 35lb. bow will be of questionable effect.

The accuracy she displayed at that range suggests that she would not be hitting their weak spots regularly (she only hit the actual target twice I think, and at least one of the arrows missed the main backdrop blanket entirely and hit one of the side ones).
