arrows of hundreds of years ago.

bows and
arrows that are thought to be as old as 20,000 years. Although
archery equipments was originally intended to kill animals as well as human enemies, archery can be played pureuly for fun by
shooting inanimate objects. You might think that it's OK to kill an animal with a
bow and
arrow but this will rest on your consience. Even although you can aim without the intention on killing or injuring a living being, many people don't like the look of
archery at all as they associate it with violence, war and death.
