The bow and arrow was undoubtedly one of the tools developed by man at the beginning of his history, representing the greatest technological advance for many years, since it facilitated access to greater\u00a0food resources through hunting.<\/span><\/em><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t

It is not known exactly when it was first used, but it is known that in different places and at different times this new technology was developed, which surpassed in range and speed the use of spears or spear guns fired either by hand or with propellants, spear throwers or atlatls, greatly increasing their effectiveness.<\/span><\/p>

Stone points have been found in Africa about 64 thousand years ago, and in Europe, especially in Spain, cave paintings with figures of archers have been found about forty thousand years ago<\/b>. The use of the bow and arrow for hunting (as well as a weapon of war) remained the basic tool for hunting until the advent of gunpowder and later firearms.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>

However, this did not mean its disappearance, but rather it underwent a “transformation” from a hunting activity to a sporting activity that has reached our days: There are references that in ancient times Egyptians or Chinese already practiced archery as a sport, but if there is an important date in the history of archery is May 19, 1900, when at the Olympic Games held in Paris archery is included for the first time as an “Olympic” sport<\/b>.<\/span><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t

In reference to the types of bows, we can find the following: Recurve bow (Olympic), compound or pulley bow, instinctive recurve bow (made of wood), barebow, which is the same bow as the “Olympic” bow, but without the stabilization aids or aiming sight, and finally the most famous longbow or straight bow, always made of wood.<\/span><\/strong><\/p><\/blockquote>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t
