The bow has had a HUGE impact on human history, from war to hunting. So it's preserving a very important and old tradition.

It does require strength as well. A bow's power is told by how hard it is to pull the string back, it's called the draw weight and is given in pounds. For example, a bow with a 45 pound draw weight, an average weight, would be just as hard to pull back as lifting something weighing 45 pounds. You have to hold that with your fingers all the while your arms are shaking because that's what happens when you strain your muscles. Then you have to release all fingers exactly the same time and hope the wind doesn't kick up!
