England and Scotland several times in the middle ages required archery practice on Sundays and holy days and, equally importantly, forbid sports other than archery like football so as to encourage men to be ready to serve as archerers during war.
Yep! I knew this would be excellent. I also love how you admit that you have not actually read the entirety of some of your sources -- it's so frank and authentic. You have such a clear mindset, and its obvious Great Books have given you the tools you need!
I'm glad it lived up to your expectations! Yes, I do sometimes wonder if everyone has read all the books that we all talk about? I don't think it's a crime to talk about a book you haven't read in its entirety. The truth is you can't ever totally know a book, because the moment it's over, you forget most of it anyway. I've browsed a few of your posts by the way--they're energetic and interesting. Hope you write more!
