Bows and arrows

Users who are viewing this thread

Nonono, dinosaurs weren't smart enough to use bows, they just dropped rocks on people. It was the cavemen that used bows to hunt the dinosaurs. That's why the went extinct.

Really tho, bows have probably been around almost as long as humans have. I'd say they probably predate written history.
 
they are pulling your leg. the bow was first used in rome. after the fall of the roman empire the pope was the first to keep a standing army of archers. they where used before only for hunting. the reason for this was that rules of chivalry forbid others to use the bow as a combat weapon.
however because of protests from the nobility this army was disbandad. the next time bows where used in combat was at the east front in the second world war. the bow was used once more because of munition shortages on the russian side. after that the bow was only used for sports.
however bows are stil being used by a few terrorist groups in iraq and afghanistan.

From Randos link:

"archery's importance as a cultural advance ranks with the development of speed and the art of making fire. "

Err... what? Cavemen liked their speed eh? You learn something new every day.
