Next question:
In 1956, what company was the first to use a"Pistol Grip" on a bow |
RE: Bowhunting Trivia Game
It was near 1500 B.C. and the place was the steppes of central Asia. The new, more powerful design was central to the Mongol civilization's dominance in battle.

RE: Bowhunting Trivia Game
Bows were found in Denmark dating back to approximately 9000 - 6000 BC. These were one piece bows of yew and elm and tillered, meaning they had an equal amount of bend on the top and bottom. The first composite bow appeared in about 2800 BC. It was most likely developed in Asia, though it was also widely used in Egypt.

C'mon guys , there are alot ofother sources of information out there , other than "The History of Archery" by Tom Brisee ;)
What year was the first mechanical release produced? Who produced it? What was it called? |
RE: Bowhunting Trivia Game
The history of releases goes back to the ancient Chinese and the Turks, who used a thumb type release to set arrow flight distance records which were not equaled until modern times. The advent of the modern release began in the 1960's, but these releases were shot on command and were of limited help for increasing accuracy or helping with a target panic problem. The change that revolutionized freestyle archery occurred in the late 1960's with the introduction of the plastic ledge type of release. |
