What reading level is Toxophilus : the School of Shooting, in Two Books book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
For pieced bows be much like old housen, which be more chargeable to repair than com- modious to dwell in. And again, to swaddle a bow much about with bands, very seldom doth any good, except it be to keep down a spell in the back, other- wise bands either need not, when the bow is anything worth, or else boot not, when it is marred and past best.
And although I know mean and poor shooters will use pieced and banded bows sometime, because they are not able to get better when they would; yet, I ...am sure, if they consider it well, they shall find it both less charge and more pleasure, to bestowe* at any time a couple of shillings of a new bow, than to bestow ten pence of piecing an old bow. For better is cost upon somewhat worth, than spence \expence\ upon nothing worth. And this I speak also, because you would have me refer all to perfectness in shooting.
Moreover, there is another thing, which will soon cause a bow to be broken by one of the three ways which be first spoken of ; and that is shooting in win- ter,t when there is any frost.
