Bowhunting History

In the book Learning to Bow, written by Bruce Feiler, Feiler is sent to Japan to teach Japanese students about American values, customs, and its language. Feiler discusses his life and teaching experience in Japan during the late 1980’s and early 1990’s. In what became more of a learning lesson however, the author was able to understand what it truly meant to be Japanese. Feiler is better able to understand what it means to be Japanese through his immersion into Japanese society, as well as comparing his Americanized ideals with that of Japan. He is enabled through this immersion to better understand the vast similarities and differences between these two distant countries.

The bow and arrow was best used by the Native Americans against the whites and their gunpowder powered rifles. Most of the bows were more accurate than the rifle, and they also could reload faster then the old rifles used by the whites. But as the rifles advanced they soon became better than any of the bows used by the Native Americans. There were many advantages and disadvantages to using gunpowder.

Weapons made from stone, bone, and wood were presumed to have been kept in woven baskets and wrapped in a leather “wallet” for safety. The earliest Virginian’s lived in the lowlands of Shenandoah Valley and hunted smaller mammals and gathered wild fruit (“Paleo-Indians”). As the mountains became a less hostile environment over time, Paleo-Indians settled higher up in the Appalachians. The abundance of animals and natural resources drew the Paleo-Indians to Saltville where there was larger game (“Woodland Indians”). There is a vast amount of evidence that Paleo-Indians hunted large mammals such as Mammoths and Mastodons, but not as a primary food sources.

Women were responsible for producing the hides for clothes and shelters. With bone tools, they cleaned the hair from the hides. Men, on the other hand, cleared the land, built and repaired the houses. They constructed large fish baskets to gather the catch. [2] Using bows and arrows, the men hunted a variety of animals, but mainly deer, elk and bear.

The Indians skillfully made arrows that were able shoot with a maximum range of 200 yards while the triangular projectile points could tear through human flesh and bears’ hides. These arrows were made from the craftsman knowledge of woods and minerals. Moreover, the Indians used wood, reeds, and moose-hide from their surroundings to create helmets, arrow-proof tunics, and shields. Additionally, they also used various trees and wet clay to build large canoes that could accommodate men in spear fishing as they stood up inside of them. They also used bark from giant paper birch trees to build canoes and cover longhouses, teepees, and wigwams.

Indians quickly adopted the animal as a means of transportation and to hunt more efficiently. This was transformative to Indian culture and made hunting much easier. In fact, many Indians abandoned farming to start hunting Buffalo. Prior to this, North America

There is not an exact time or place where the longbow was invented, but some think it came from the Celts in Wales (Max Distro, 2013). The longbow is made of remarkably strong wood, and is roughly six feet tall and ⅝ inch wide (Max Distro, 2013). Of course there were other weapons, too, such as spears, boomerangs, metal daggers, and swords (Michael Marshall, 2009). Gunpowder was invented in China in 904 AD (Max Distro, 2013). The Chinese astonishingly kept the use of gunpowder a secret from the rest of the world until the thirteenth century (Heather Whipps, 2008).

The Pawnees lived in the Western Plains, where is the Nebraska and the Kansas. Then, they lived in the settle village of the rounded earthen lodges. The earthen lodges were made by digging a hole in the ground, then covering it with logs and grasses. Last, they covered the logs with soil.

By the late 1700’s, Osage men spent eight out of every twelve months hunting. Specific trips were made to hunt the bear and beaver that were valuable to European traders but traditionally had little worth to the Osage. Osage women increasingly neglected their garden

For archery, at the age of four days old, Apollo asked for a bow and arrow. Hephaestus made him a bow out of silver and arrows made out of gold.
