Using modern english phrases to convey meaning to modern audiences is usually fine to me, as long as they don't reference modern history or events. but what really pisses me off is movies like "The Great Gatsby" that take place during the 1920s and have JayZ and Lana del ray playing at a rich person's party

Yeah this will never not make me angry. It's beyond pet peeve at this point.

What term would have been used for archery?

I believe it was usually "loose"
