Wouldn't be any different if she was using an English Longbow. Still overkill via death from above. The sky will be black with arrows.
Back in Medieval times, Longbowmen were trained to try and keep six arrows in the air at any one time generally within the space of a minute, and every sunday after Church was, under Henry VIII, time to practise archery for all able-bodied men.
All that training + 10-100+ -wide ranks 5-10+ -deep (depending on the scale of battle) = 300-6,000+ Arrows per minute on a battlefield.

The question people have about that is...how did they stay supplied with arrows to keep this up?

Generally speaking, they didn't actually keep up a full company firing at full speed for very long. Also, they wouldn't have battles that large except once or twice a year even during the largest wars - logistics were much, much harder back then. Keeping armies like that fed and marching was much harder than keeping them stocked with ammo.
Also, they reused the arrow shafts much of the time, the heads would break off inside the body, which meant they were more worried about replacing bodkins. (Although you could always cut those out of your enemies, as well, if they didn't bend too much, or fish them out of your own dead.)
In general, this meant that you could have a whole nation's forges and fletchers gradually build up a stockpile that would only spasm in supply every now and then (although wood rots, and iron rusts, so you need to have constant resupply).
I doubt any archers would really go into battle with more than 50 arrows at a time (they're big and heavy, after all), and would likely carry far less, and that "full auto mode" is a rarity. Archers often just launched volleys during the skirmishes at the start of battle before the main lines clashed, before having to fall back and generally only pepper other skirmishers or cavalry if they weren't in danger of being overrun.
