The first known bow and arrow were fashioned around the 10th Century B.C. in Germany. The arrow shafts were crafted out of wood and held flint arrowheads at the tips. Similarly the bows were created from wood and were curved more than later bows such as the English long bow. Bow and arrows were used to hunt large game as well as small game such as birds, with various tips for different animals. Native American Indians used woven targets to practice their archery skill for bow hunting. Today there are many bow designs that are carefully engineered out of a variety of materials to decrease weight, improve balance, and increase accuracy.
