People in Africa invented hunting bows and arrows, probably about 64,000 years ago. Some of the earliest arrowheads come from South Africa. Then as people spread from Africa to India, Australia, all over Asia, and Europe, they took their bows and arrows with them. Bows and arrows finally made their way to North America around 3,000 B.C. Native Americans started using bows to hunt in North America. It is believed that they got their bow technology from the Tuniit, and it spread from there across the Americas.

Is hunting good for wildlife conservation? To understand why the answer is unequivocally yes, consider the conservation story of Marty Anderson.

There is a critical component to shooting that will both help control your emotions and boost your accuracy. This is one of the most overlooked aspects of archery and bowhunting. It is simply focusing on a process. The process is a simple, systematic routine to walk you through the fundamentals of making a good archery shot. This serves two purposes. The first is that it helps engrain the core points of technique. The second is that it helps keep your conscious thoughts focused on making that perfect shot rather than blowing it.

At Bushmen Safaris, bow hunters can enjoy a great number of amenities including an abundant selection of animals to hunt during their safari experience. One such animal is the Blue Wildebeest, a large mammal of the Bovid family. Muscular in appearance, this animal moves gracefully on slim legs. Although the Blue Wildebeest has a reputation for stampeding, this animal generally moves quietly, but when spooked can charge across the plain at speeds up to 40 mph. The Blue Wildebeest is a large, bearded antelope native to the acacia savanna and short grass plains that is often referred to as the “poor man’s” buffalo.
