Next to sticks the bow and arrow are probably one of the most ancient weapons in history. Even before the sword was invented, ancient man was running about, using his new-found archery weapon to bring down birds and other wildlife he managed to get into his sight.

The bow doesn’t go anywhere one hopes! Just the arrow.
