Description
Excerpt from The Art of Archery
We learn from the first book of the Bible that the bow has been in use since the beginning of the world, for in it we are told that Lamech slew beasts with it. Further on, David took a sign from it from Jonathan, as appears in the first book of Kings. Again, as appears from his history, Hercules, the most mighty archer of his time, killed with it, while he was crossing the river, the giant who had robbed him of his wife. Also it was used by the archers who lived in the time of the Trojans. Similarly the book called The Art of War, says that the ancients taught their children to shoot with the bow, hold it in the left hand, and draw it with the right, of which more hereafter.
