Nobody exactly knows because it was probably invented before the first accurate records of time.

However, the oldest verified bow ever found was dug up from a peat bog in Denmark. It was carbon dated as being eight thousand years old. So, the inventor of the bow and arrow could have been Danish.

It is really not known who Archery was invented by but it is known that it had first been used about the early 1900's and even before that. All I know is that who ever made the bow and arow they were preety smart for living back then.

There is no known answer to this, it's probably impossible that we shall ever know, the bow in one form or another has been used by all cultures from the stone age at least, the "Iceman", found frozen in the Alps some years ago, who lived in the late stone/early bronze age, had a bow and arrows almost identical to those used thousands of years later. The bow was probably invented independently by hundreds of people thousands of years ago, just about the only culture who never invented it were the Native People of Australia, who used the boomerang and spear instead. I think this is a question to which there is no answer!

I think the person you are looking for would be Fred Bear. He is the one most commonly noted as the "Father of Archery."
