Roger Ascham: 我撰写这本射箭论著是为了向国王亨利八世表达我的忠诚，并推广射箭这项运动，它有益身心，适合各个阶层的人，并且在战争中至关重要。我将论述射箭的历史、益处以及学习方法，并反驳那些反对射箭的人的观点。我承认自己射箭技术不精，但我的文字能够表达完美的射箭技巧。射箭是一项诚实的运动，它在光天化日之下进行，任何错误都一目了然。它适合所有阶层的人，因为它既能增强体质，又能陶冶情操。它在战争中至关重要，许多伟大的国家和君主都重视射箭。射箭不会妨碍学习，反而可以作为学习的调节。它比赌博等不良嗜好更有益身心。射箭是维护国家安全的武器，也是和平时期健康的娱乐活动。它在战争中发挥着关键作用，许多历史上的胜利都归功于射箭。英格兰的射箭技术在世界上首屈一指，但我们应该改进射箭的教学方法，以提高射箭水平。 Philologist: 我起初对射箭持怀疑态度，认为它会占用学者的学习时间，并且不适合学者。但经过Ascham的论述，我改变了看法。我承认音乐和射箭都是适合学者的娱乐活动，但过多的音乐会使人的思想变得软弱，不利于深入的学习。而射箭则有益身心，并且不会妨碍学习。射箭在战争中也发挥着重要作用，许多历史上的胜利都归功于射箭。虽然完美的射箭是不可能的，但我们应该追求完美，并从中学习。射箭需要技巧和练习，并且需要考虑天气等因素。
