Did you know that bow/archery hunting season was first started in 1934? Although it came in as an actual sport in 1934, people way back in time used bows for hunting, protection, and even as competition. Way back when there were still civilizations people used bows to protect them from attacks. Bows also helped get food by ambush instead of chasing the animals down. There were usually a arena somewhere in the civilization, and that is where the people would shoot their bowa to see who is the better shot. That is what the people used the bow and arrow for.
The stone age humans were the first to use the bow and arrows. They constructed the bows out of wood and and then strung with string. The string was made out of animal guts that had dried

Of course you did,but did you know that there are many types of archery. There is bowhunting, target archery, field archery, indoor archery, and flight archery? They are all very much used these days. Bowhunting is the use of a bow to hunt for food such as deer, rabbits, bears, moose, elk, and much more animals that you can hunt. Target archery is when archer's line up target at different distances and shoot to see who is more accurate. In that case there are many people that compete with each other. Some people only use target archery to help sight their bows in for hunting purposes. Field archery is almost the same as target archery. People shoot at targets and compete to see who gets closer to a bullseye. In indoor archery archers also shoot at targets. They compete to see who is the most accurate. People usually compete for fun or for bragging rights. Since the targets are indoors the first archer to miss his target loses and his arrow might just break as well. Finally in flight archery people shoot at targets that look like animals. They aim for vitals on the targets, and work on accuracy from far away distances. That somes up on the different types of

Bow hunting can be a fun and exiting sport to do. But first you must learn how to do so. There several steps involved becoming a successful bow-hunter. You must have proper equipment, good hunting habitat, and skill with a little technique.
First, the weapons are so very different. I'm sure without me explaining this whatsoever, anybody could note that a bow and a rifle have about as much similarity as a mouse and a lion. However, you can look at these two weapons on a much deeper level. Not only at how they're different, but also how inferior one is too the other--the bow to the rifle. Without debate, the bow is a much less effective weapon because a great bowhunter can shoot 80 yards comfortably; whereas, a great rifle hunter can take 1000 yard shots. A mediocre guy can hop out of his F-150, stumble to the fence, and shoot deer at 200 yards--no problem. So why do people continue to use a bow? This is a hard question to answer, but I believe people continue to use a bow because they want more of a hunt. Some people like a challenge--these people bowhunt.
The Tchefuncte culture, during the Woodland Period, was the first people to use the land to make pottery. Populations in the Woodland Period became more sedentary and began to establish semi-permanent villages and to practice agriculture. “A major change in hunting strategy occurred during the time of the Woodland Indians with the introduction of the bow and arrow.” (Prehistory, screen 1). They continued to hunt and farm, more efficiently with the bow and
They were pretty late invention but the bow and arrow was an ultimate stone age weapon, in some parts of the world they have only been in use for 30,000 years or so. This weapon needed a number of inventions to occur before it could be finalized. First of all they needed very strong tine or string, they needed a sharp stone tool to shape the bow and the arrow and the possession to split very sharp, fine stone for the arrow tips. The skill to capture or kill prey from a distance gave our stone age man a huge advantage.
Some would say hunting is simply a sport, while others would say it provides assistance in
The many great things about hunting is not only the calmness of the wilderness and the rush of being so close to many wild animals. There are many different ways to hunt. I am going to classify the four types of hunting: shotgun, rifle, muzzleloader, and bow and arrow. The reason I am classifying this is because most people just think of hunting as a verb and don’t know that there are so many different ways to go about hunting.
When you choose If you want to use a bow or rifle when you hunt you need to make sure you know how to use it properly. If you want to use a rifle you first need to make sure the safety it on when handling it. When walking make sure the rifle is not aiming at
Hunting was important to the early man. This was how they would find food and the necessities that they needed from animals. In document #1, the cave painting found in Lascaux, France, shows a herd of deer attacking a group of people that have bows and arrows. The painting shows the human figures using the bows and arrows to attack and kill the deer. This evidence may suggest that this group of people are nomadic; meaning they migrate to areas where a food source is available. A quote by Jacob Bronowski’s documentary, The Ascent of Man, in
Hunting has been ingrained in American history from the Native American tribes and from when the first settlers arrived to the New World. While hunting is not needed for survival in today’s society every year thousands of hunters take to the woods in pursuit of their quarry. While many people think these hunters are all the same there are two main sects that make up the hunting community; gun hunters and bowhunters. While both methods of hunting are similar and share many common points, there are some key differences between the two as well. While bowhunting is more challenging and the less popular of the two methods, and being less popular is often seen as a bad thing, bowhunting’s lack of popularity and increased challenge is what makes it the true pure form of hunting.
Hunting is a part of our culture and has been all throughout history. “Our prehistoric ancestors were hunters. To them, animals were as sacred as life itself. A good hunt assured survival.” (National Shooting Sports Foundation) . If our ancestors didn’t hunt, then they didn’t live. They relied on it for the survival of their families.
Secondly, bows and arrows were most likely used for protection purposes. The two tools are occasionally made from wood and have been in use for a long period of
There are two main things to consider when looking at archery and the physics concepts behind it. First there is the bow, which basically is a device that uses human force over a distance and converts that into stored Mechanical Potential Energy. The second factor involves that stored Mechanical Energy being
