Great piece on how the English kept their armies supplied with arrows during the HYW:

The late medieval version of England's Military Industrial Complex. Laughing

I also highly recommend Bernard Cornwell's "Agincourt". Yes, it's a novel, but he goes to great lengths to get the details of the battle either correct (where we know something) or plausible (where the historical record is silent or inconsistent). And he takes great care in writing about the problem of arrow supply on the battlefield that day.
