Abu Talha and the Prophet ﷺ used to shield themselves with one shield. Abu Talha was a good archer, and when he threw (his arrows) the Prophet ﷺ would look at the target of his arrows.
كَانَ أَبُو طَلْحَةَ يَتَتَرَّسُ مَعَ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ بِتُرْسٍ وَاحِدٍ وَكَانَ أَبُو طَلْحَةَ حَسَنَ الرَّمْىِ فَكَانَ إِذَا رَمَى تَشَرَّفَ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ فَيَنْظُرُ إِلَى مَوْضِعِ نَبْلِهِ

Abu Talha and the Prophet ﷺ used to shield themselves with one shield. Abu Talha was a good archer, and when he threw (his arrows) the Prophet ﷺ would look at the target of his arrows. (Using translation from Bukhārī 2902)
كَانَ أَبُو طَلْحَةَ يَتَتَرَّسُ مَعَ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ بِتُرْسٍ وَاحِدٍ وَكَانَ أَبُو طَلْحَةَ حَسَنُ الرَّمْيِ فَكَانَ إِذَا رَمَى أَشْرَفَ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ يَنْظُرُ إِلَى مَوَاقِعِ نَبْلِهِ
[Machine] Abu Talhah used to accompany the Messenger of Allah ﷺ with one shield. Abu Talhah was skilled at throwing and whenever he threw, the Prophet ﷺ would look at the direction of his nobility.
كَانَ أَبُو طَلْحَةَ تَتَرَّسَ مَعَ رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ بِتُرْسٍ وَاحِدٍ وَكَانَ أَبُو طَلْحَةَ حَسَنَ الرَّمْيِ وَكَانَ إِذَا رَمَى أَشْرَفَ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ فَيَنْظُرُ إِلَى مَوْضِعِ نَبْلِهِ
"عَنْ أنَسٍ قَالَ: كَانَ أبُو طَلحَةَ يُتَرِّسُ (*) مَعَ النَّبِىِّ ﷺ بِترْس وَاحِدٍ، وكَانَ حسنَ الرَّمْي، وَكَانَ رَسُولُ الله ﷺ يَتَشَوفُ إِذَا رَمَى وَيَنْظُرُ إِلَى مَوَاقِع نَبْلِهِ".
