In August 1413, for example, London-based fletcher Stephen Seler was paid for 12,000 arrows.

And of course, there is still a great London Fletcher with us today:

During Battle of Towton (1461), the Yorkists advanced to
bowshot range of the Lnacasterians

A blizzard was blowing into the faes of the Lancasterians

The Yorkists unleashed several volleys of arrows and retreated back out of range

The Lancasterians unleashed arrow storm against where thought Yorkists were

The arrows fell short because of the wind, Yorkists advanced back and picked up spent arrows and shot back at Lancasterians Their arrows aided by wind devastated Lancasterian side

where it lands, I do not care;
I get my arrows wholesale.”

Sometimes they couldn’t.

One study showed that the French archers at Agincourt were actually shooting loaves of French Bread at the British.

The aerodynamics wouldn’t work for croissants, though.

If you’re a fan of Three Kingdoms, then you simply borrow the enemies arrows using your own boats of straw as targets.
