Ray Mears, The Bow: The History of Archery

The oldest known evidence of the use of the bow comes from South Africa, where microliths, believed to be arrowheads dating from around 70,000 years ago, have been found. But it's here in Britain, where the oldest complete bow ever was discovered, at a place called Star Carr. Join Ray Mears as he goes on a personal journey to uncover the origins of the bow, from its early use in hunting to its development as the first true weapon of mass destruction.
