You can also shoot your own party members with Arrows of Dispelling if they get hit by something particularly nasty for an instant no-fail dispel. Archers have such good THAC0 that they're likely to hit even your frontliners with the best AC, and because they're in the back they're less likely to get hit by the disablers you're wanting to dispel.

Sure, the person you shoot will still take the arrow damage, but it beats them dying to the enemy anyway because they failed their save against Hold Person or Confusion or something.
