Extended data:

Bow and arrow hunting has always been a form of hunting and a very primitive and bloody hunting method. Since bows and arrows are no longer the first choice of hunting tools, the requirements and challenges of bow and arrow hunting for hunters' physical and mental qualities are higher than those of using guns.

The main ways of modern bow and arrow are ambush hunting and patrol hunting. Ambush hunting is to wait in ambush on the road where the prey must pass, and shoot after the prey enters the shooting distance. The most commonly used is a tree-shaped platform, which is 3-6 meters high from the ground. It is not easy to attract the attention of prey on the tree platform, and the field of vision is wide. You can find the prey in advance and prepare to shoot. In addition, it will not be countered by injured prey on the tree platform, which is very safe.

Camouflaged tents on the ground are hidden and crouched, usually on the road where food (including bait), water or prey must pass. If patrol hunting is adopted, the hunter needs to search for prey in a reasonable direction and route according to the activity law of prey in the hunting ground, and get as close as possible to the prey until hunting begins.
