Although archery probably dates back to the Stone Age – around 20,000BC – the earliest people known to have regularly used bows and arrows were the Ancient Egyptians, who adopted archery around 3,000BC for hunting and warfare. In China, the earliest evidence of archery dates to the Shang Dynasty – 1766-1027BC.

History. The oldest known evidence of the bow and arrow comes from South African sites such as Sibudu Cave, where likely arrowheads have been found, dating from approximately 72,000–60,000 years ago. The earliest probable arrowheads found outside of Africa were discovered in 2020 in Fa Hien Cave, Sri Lanka.

Archery is the practice of using a bow to shoot arrows. The word comes from the Latin arcus, meaning 'bow'. Historically, archery was used for hunting and combat, having been invented in the late Palaeolithic or early Mesolithic periods.

The stick is made from a “blank” which is a piece of wood that was first cut to the required size. The long part of the stick is hand shaped using carving tools, including specially made planes, tapering towards the curved end, which is called the bow head, and finally tapering again down to the tip.
