Summary

One of the most important inventions in human history was the bow and arrow. A bow and arrow is a rather simple device, but it was a revolutionary advancement in humanity’s ability to hunt and fight. Unlike many early human inventions, the bow and arrow have had an extremely long lifespan. For thousands of years it remained virtually unchanged. That was until the last 100 years when this age old device changed dramatically.
