Bows and arrows

Fact: Bows and arrows

Bows and arrows were widely used in Bible times (1 Chronicles 12:2). 

Bows were made with single pieces of wood or by gluing layers of wood, horn, and sinew together. 

They were between 3 and 6 feet (0.9 and 1.8 m) long.

 Arrows were made of wood shafts or reeds that were tipped with metal heads. 

Bird feathers were added to guide the arrows.
