> the compound bow wasn't invented until 1966 Err.. doesn't the Mongol bow count? I distinctly recall reading how the fact that it was made of multiple materials made it a lot more lightweight and efficient than bows made out of one piece. EDIT: NVM, I confused "compound" for "composite" EDIT2: And this passage on Wikipedia explains my confusion > In literature of the early 20th century, before the invention of compound bows, composite bows were described as "compound".[2] This usage is now outdated. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Compound_bow https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Compound_bow https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Composite_bow https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Composite_bow
