∙ 14y agoAll peoples using bows before the era of firearms (guns) used arrows for killing game animals for both food and clothing.
Europeans and Asians used them for bear, deer, fox, and wolves, to name a few. North Americans (present day Canada & US) used the bow and arrow for buffalo, elk, bear, deer, antelope, rabbits, squirrels, to name a few.
Alaskans (Inuit, etc.) used the bow for seals, walrus, polar bear, wolves, carribou, brown & black bears, and smaller game animals.
As with firearms, bows were also used in warfare; which were often caused by territorial disputes (today called trespassing).
