Toxophilus, written by Roger Ascham in 1545, is a comprehensive guide on target archery with the English longbow. The book is divided into two parts: the first advocates for target archery as a beneficial activity for individuals and national defense, while the second serves as an instructional manual on archery techniques and equipment. Ascham's insights into archery equipment and performance are notable, reflecting practices that date back to the Hundred Years' War. Dedicated to King Henry VIII, the book earned Ascham a pension for its contribution to archery.
