The earliest bows were probably short bows, used for hunting in the woods. Bows were used in this way by the American Indians, across Europe, and in the East. The Egyptians were the first to develop composite bows (bows made from several different materials), stretching the intestines of sheep to make the bow string. Egyptian archers rode on the back of chariots and must have been an amazing sight as they hurtled across the deserts around the sides of the enemy armies.

Archery is nearly a universal amongst humankind. Therefore it might have started before humankind spread throughout the earth. Wooden Bows, thews, and arrows of reed are not long lasting materials, so it is hard for archologists to track and date beyond a certain time. We know the very early Anastazi in North America had bows via the stone points found. Some points have been found in and around the Painted Caves of France.
