Back in the days of Henry VIII there lived one of the few great scholars of that time, Roger Ascham. He was tutor toPrincess Elizabeth, who later became the "Good Queen Bess."He was a lover of archery as a sport and wrote the first com-prehensive treatise on this sport which he named "Toxo-philus." Men of letters regard this book as a classic. In this book Ascham laid down five cardinal steps to betaken in shooting an arrow from a bow. These were: standing,nocking, drawing, aiming, and loosing. No one has ever beenable to improve on these steps unless we add the modern term,"follow through." If we will refer to the recital mentioned above, we see thatit follows these five steps, each paragraph representing one ofthese steps. |
