Hey there folks,
I just went through the Berner Schilling Vol. 3 detailing the Burgundian war in which the Burgundians used longbows and both sides used crossbow. I went through all the images in it and extracted each with showed an arrow or crossbow quarrel. I did not cherry pick examples that would fit in my earlier assumptions, I simple looked for all and any arrow/quarrel depictions.

Sadly the image format restrictions prevent me from posting all here so I will link to a few instead.
The first image shows a group of people in a boat being attacked. One is hauled overboard and I assume he was shot with a gun, the other two were both shot in the head with an arrow/quarrel. No crossbowmen can be identified on the shore.

The second image is from the same page and shows a boat of, what I believe are, enemies approaching, two sticks appear inside which could possible be bows. Although Charles the Bold and Burgundians have not been introduced at this point. It could be a pike/spear as well.

The third image shows the Burgundian army approaching, it shows two soldiers with a spear and an archers. Just included this one for fun.

The Fourth image shows a siege conducted by the Swiss against the Burgundians. Several people are hit in unprotected parts and the head. Two show an arrow wound at or near the throat, whether it is a plate bevor or a mail collar it penetrated is not clear.

The fifth image shows another siege conducted by the Swiss against the Burgundians. It shows the use of defensive
shields which stop arrows and a single person hit in the head.

The sixth image shows another siege conducted by the Swiss against an unidentified defender. Only one casualty is show on the entire page perhaps indicating the siege just started. He was hit in the head with an arrow.

The seventh image shows Burgundians besieging (and entering) a Swiss castle or city, Burgundian infantry have reached an inner court where fighting ensues. They shoot at close range and hit a person in the throat.

The eight image shows a battle between the Burgundians and the Swiss. The battlefield is littered by arrows shot by longbow archers on the side of the page. Several hits in protected and unprotected limbs are seen. A single person appears to be shot in the chest but at the angle it cannot be seen if he was wearing just clothes or armor underneath his clothes.

The ninth image shows a Swiss person dead at a siege against an unidentified opponent. He's the only visible casualty and the only image I could find where it is absolutely clear an arrow or quarrel pierced the chest protection. it is located on page 444 with some text which I was unable to read.

The tenth image shows a siege conducted by the Swiss against the Burgundians. A man with a crossbow shoots a burgundian in the head.

The eleventh and final image does not show any arrows or quarrels but I found it to be quite interesting regardless. It shows two opposing formations fighting each other inside a fortified place. Handgunners are shown in the infantry formation and a pikemen on the left side uses his pike in an overhead manner to push or leverage an enemy pike aside. Two people with halberds are show holding it in striking position but out of range of the enemy. It's just guessing on my part but I think the artist tries to show the halberdiers ready to move in and strike as the pike is pushed aside.
The formation on the right side has halberds held with the point to the enemy unlike the left where they are shown striking. It's one of the few instances in which I saw halberds being held forward like spears.

I'd like to reiterate these are not cherry picked examples but all depictions of arrow wounds I could find in the document. Of course we should be careful relying to much on artistic depictions of battles and wound patterns, but I feel it's valuable information nonetheless.
Now I am a little afraid to draw conclusions but it does appear that arrow and quarrel wounds depicted are mostly seen on the head and limbs regardless of protection. A few wounds are shown on the border of throat and chest and none are shown in the groin or abdomen.

Pieter
