It reminds me of the glory days of England when everyone no matter how poor had to know how to use a bow. It was considered so vital that King Edward Longshanks decreed that the only sport practicable on a Sunday was archery. This lead to some of the most skilled archers the world had ever seen and no one ever successfully invaded Britain ever again and many battles were won on that skill alone against far more numerical enemies.
Makes me miss that such things are not practiced nowadays with the modern equivilent.
