Bow International Issue 197

Issue 197: History Special. Fill your breaks with the history of the sport you love during long summer days out on the field! We begin with a report from the Conquest Cup in Türkiye and the latest news. Jan H. Sachers brings two features: first, on the history and origins of the laminated bow, and second, a two-part series on Biblical hunters and warriors. We revive a gem on the history of bow sights by the late Hugh Soar, while Alex Tyler investigates ten years’ worth of field archery data, presenting some interesting findings! Our editor shares two features, one exploring the Mesolithic masterpiece of Star Carr (the 11,000-year-old, most intact bow ever found), looking at the bow’s experimental copies and function; the second is a Cabinet of Curiosities feature that highlights some extraordinary archery marvels, like the Korean rocket arrow launcher, the Hwacha, and the "mythical" Spoon of Diocles. John Stanley looks at Drake’s 1977 Flight bow, Sophie Meering test-drives Easton’s Pack Mule Field Quiver, and Felicity May rounds it off with a selection of 12 pieces of archery gear that will be remembered in history. Uncover archery’s fascinating history!
