Vashistha taught Archery
Rama, Lakshmana – Bharata, Shatrughna have learned the basic skills of Archery from Sage Vashistha.

King Dasharatha is highly gladdened with four of his highly fortunate sons like the Forefather Brahma with gods in heaven. When all of the four sons are thus prospering with prudence, gifted with all the merits, self-conscious to do wrong deeds, well known for their gentility, knower of pros and cons and even the conscientious princes, then their father Dasharatha is contented in respect of all of them who are such radiantly brilliant and potential princes, like Brahma.
