If they had all been liberals, then the arrows and barbs would have been unlimited.

I read a story in Scientific American - it must have been more than thirty years ago - about archeological evidence surrounding the manufacture of arrows in feudal Europe.
The authors advanced the argument that arrows were the first manufactured article that was produced on an assembly line.
They said there were arrow factories having production in the millions of units.

Any idea how many arrows were used at Agincourt? I read that they archers there would go among the French dead and gather their previously fired arrows after each French fallback.

They used to be adventurers, just like you, then then they took an arrow in the knee.

They didn’t pull them out and reuse them like Daryl does?

We simply don’t understand how good ancient archers were. We are now relearning their secrets. This Dane is making it happen:

He’s the best “real combat” archer in the world.

“Longbowmen might be issued with three sheaves of 24 arrows “
Coincidentally (?), in the video game Skyrim, arrows are crafted in lots of 24.

Wouldn’t the Roman Empire had need of these, and many other things, on a scale that would dwarf anything in Europe at that time?

With all of those arrows in the air, the French fought in the shade.
To: Brad from Tennessee
The length and spine of the arrow depended on the weight and draw of the bow, but I guess accuracy was secondary to flight volume like smooth bore muskets versus rifled long arms.
