The meaning and the use of the underlined part
StartFragment>
The below is a sentence about Viking women in which I don't understand what's the meaning - or should I say 'the use' - of "such, possibly also as a sport."
I mean, it seems like 'such as a sport' but it doesn't make sense.
Can you tell me the meaning and the use of the underlined part?
What's more women were able to handle the bow probably to defend against raiders and such, possibly also as a sport.

It is very badly written. What's more, women were able to use a bow, chiefly as defence against raiders but also, possibly, for sport.

I'd add re such:
What's more, women were able to use a bow, chiefly as defence against raiders and similar types/guys, but also, possibly, for sport.
