As for longbows, there is a great book I am reading by Bernard Cornwell "Agincourt"

The battle of Agincourt (Azincourt was and remains the French spelling): Agincourt, Battle
in northern France in 1415 during the Hundred Years War, in which the English under Henry V defeated a large French army. The victory, achieved largely by use of the longbow, allowed Henry to occupy Normandy.

I presume that you know that the last time the longbow was used in combat to kill an enemy was at the beginning of WW II when the British Olympic Archery Champion killed a German soldier at Normandy during the evacuation of Dunkirk, as he was hidden in a barn.

Cromwell has written a few other books with the longbowmen as heros.

Best.
