[Archers] First bow

[Grimm]

This is not the oldest bow found in europe it is the oldest bow from the neolithic period in history. When man became farmers instead of hunter gatherers. There have been older bows found from the Paleolithic period. The straightness of the bow is normal for bows of that period. They are still trying to find clues to its use, hunting or protection, but it is beyond a doubt a working bow.
