The story of ancient bows and arrows

Ancient bow and arrow: a long-range weapon with a sharp blade fired with a bow in ancient times. Bow consists of elastic bow arm and flexible bow string; Arrows include arrows, shafts and feathers. The arrow is made of copper or iron, the handle of the arrow is made of bamboo or wood, and the feathers are those of birds such as eagles, eagles and geese. It is one of the important weapons used by China's ancient army.

Bows are divided into wooden bows, bamboo bows, rattan bows, angle bows and compound bows with alternating materials.

Bows are divided into single bow and compound bow (up and down combination, left and right combination, split combination, etc. ) and composite bow (rib-angle bow, multi-layer bow, etc. )

Bows are divided into traditional bows and modern bows. Modern bows are mostly compound bows and pulley bows.

Nowadays, compound bows and pulley bows are generally used as competition equipment. Bamboo bows and wooden bows are widely used among the people because of their low cost and convenient manufacture. Most of them are self-made, outstanding and extraordinary. Few people can master bamboo bows now. Rib-angle bow is a masterpiece of ancient Chinese bow, and some properties are no less than those made of modern materials. Rib angle bow is made of animal horn, bamboo or wooden tire, ribs, animal glue and other materials through complicated procedures. It has high technical difficulty and long production cycle, but it can't be preserved for a long time, and it can be preserved for a hundred years at the longest.

As an important weapon in ancient wars, bows and arrows were eventually replaced by guns with the disappearance of the cold weapon era, and the traditional bow and arrow culture has since become history. We should cross the vast history of bonfires and smoke to find the spring and autumn legacy of Jinge Tiema.
