Tbe sling was adequate for small game, but sometbing more powerful was needed to combat the shaggy, thick-skinned animals that roamed the for- ests and hills. The bow drill enabled the fire-maker to get results quicker than by rubbing two dry sticks together by hand. It probably inspired its maker with its possibilities' as a weapon. The first bows and arrows were quite crude, but improvements were made from one epoch to another, until we find the powerful siege cross-bows of the Middle Ages, weighing eighteen pounds and throwing heavy bolts. The bow was the first powerful arm to kill game at a distance with accuracy and certainty. It is still nsed in some parts of the worid. â¢âJWhenf ?£? P^k m?,5'<rar Remington shotgun or rifle, it is hard to realize that the simple bow and arrow was one of the fore- runners of this splendid weapon with its solid breech, hammerless and take-down features. The stone, the sling, the bow and arrow and the_cross-bow, all have contributed their historic share toward the creation of Remington UMC firearms and ammunition.
