Balanced Fine arrows are fairly readily affordable, however, at only $14 each (as opposed to the $2 each of normal arrows).

BS limits Very Fine to fencing weapons and swords only; is there an added rule somewhere that lets arrows take it for (what appears to be) +49 CF? (Sounds good to me either way.)
Also, I agree that Balanced + Fine is a nice combination for arrows. A few of those, in regular and bodkin versions, are a good thing to have in any quiver.
Added thought for the original poster: I have a modest suggestion online for
increasing the bonus from Aim to +1 per second of aiming (max +3), plus Acc. (Restated, that's an extra +1 TH for taking any amount of Aim.)
Doing that isn't a game changer for ranged combat, but I prefer it for a number of reasons. And in the case you present, even a +1 TH might help relieve your archer's frustration. (Well, assuming he actually has time to aim, when facing mysteriously teleporting soldiers...)
