Whenever archers get together there are always those among them who would have us believe because our ancestors shot a bow five thousand or fifty thousand years ago that we moderns can shoot a bow instinctively and all that we have to do to hit a mark or bag our buck is to take a deep breath, look at the target, draw the arrow back to the ear, and let fly.

Well, if you buy that line, you will not be any better a marksman than your remote ancestors. Legends about Robin Hood’s merry men to the contrary, your ancestors were inferior marksmen by modern standards. With primitive equipment, they developed the art of stalking game to a high degree in order to close to point-blank-range to register a hit.

In the thousands of years since man first stood on his feet and walked, the period in which he has used missile weapons is of relatively short duration. No one can fix the exact “time” of man’s arrival on earth and even as late as the year 1860, the majority of scientists believed man’s existence covered a span of less than 6,000 years.

Since that date, evidence of man’s antiquity yielded through the discovery of ancient graves, fossilized remains found in geological formations laid down in the past, and excavations carried out in the exploration of caves in France and elsewhere in Western Europe, permitted archaeologists to establish that man was certainly in existence at the beginning of the Pleistocene period. Unfortunately no sure means of estimating the duration of these periods in terms of years is as yet known to geologists.

Last week as I switched on my Columbia free dish network satellite system I stumbled on a show on Discovery Science that covered some archaeological findings about archery. You never know what you’re going to get when you turn on…. and point your little satellite to the sky. It was said that the Bow and Arrow has been around for 20,000 years at least. It seems that recent findings of amazing stone arrow heads on the African continent indicates that the bow was invented there possibly as early as 50,000 BC. Now usually when I watch satellite television via my Duluth TV satellite dish network I don’t expect to get such good information about our favorite sport “archery�.

Have you ever shot a bow in your life? If you haven’t, then you should give it a try. I have a lot of experience with this sport because I was introduced to archery when I was 14 years old and I’m still involved in it now that I’m 31. Well, you can’t blame me for doing it for more then fifteen years because it’s really fun. Anyway, archery bows are not just for those who hunt deer or turkeys. Anybody can enjoy the experience of shooting a bow. To tell you the truth, I have never been hunting in my life. I only practice on targets that are made from hay bales. However, there are a lot of supplies that you should consider before you get too excited and turn into Robin Hood.

Dancing is also a good source of exercise for me. The reason I enjoy exercising so much isn’t for the health benefits alone, but for the high it gives me, the endorphin rush.
