I notice that flying units are very weal to archer. However when the flying units begin to attack my archers, my archers can't seem to be able to hit them, even if I have multiple units focusing their fire. Is this normal?

Your archers may be spending too much time moving to shoot properly depending on your settings. Try using spearmen to guard archers with the units set to not avoid the enemy and see if it helps you.

Additionally, some flying units have high shooting resistance.

I have mixed results with spearmen guarding archers (I think it has to do with the fact that both units are put in horde formation, and spearmen are not supposed to be effective in this kind of formation). When the enemy has a huge concentration of fliers (like that battle just before you get Morgana), I just leave my archers at home hehe.
On the other hand : Guardians are fantastic against enemy archers :D
