Features: People invented the bow in the Stone Age over two thousand years ago. Today, in many parts of the world, we can still see beautiful murals depicting Stone Age men using bows and arrows for hunting.

In China, archery appeared during the Shang Dynasty (approximately 17th century BC to 11th century BC). China was one of the earliest countries to develop archery as a sport.
