You said you have used modern equipment, what bow shape have you used? There are many different kinds
Oh I would imagine, as with many things in life, they evolve over time to become more efficient and/or user friendly.
Have you ever taken an archery class? I have and it was lots of fun. The truth is that bots are not able do to that. Something that is also true the subject of archery is that it has been used for combat and hunting historically Yes, it is quite neat how it has evolved. It can be challenging at first but once you get the hang of it, it becomes a lot of fun. Nice, did you know that this activity you find fun dates as far back as 10,000-9000 BC ? I did not know that it dated back that far. I knew it was one of the oldest forms of weaponry but had no clue it was that old. So you do know some facts about this subject already, let me tell you another one,  the oldest bows discovered come from Holmegård swamp in Denmark. Wow, I would love to shoot an old style bow sometime. I have only used modern equipment. I hear the older traditional bows are harder to use.
