Under the for what it's worth Department.

Can't remember where, or what I was reading, but I do remember it being a crude hand drawing(s) of the minimum requirements for a archery practice field, and during the time period, there was one just about every other block, in all of the villages / towns, and the requirement that the men in the village had to go on say every Saturday, (can't remember the actual day required) to train. Also gave an age requirement(s), on who was required to attend.

I believe the English had a requirement for men to bring their equipment to church on Sunday and practice afterward.

This eventually led to American Militias to bring their firelocks to church on Sunday and practice drill afterward. It would make a modern faintheart “faint” to see armed men drilling on the church parking lot today!
