[QUOTE="BMan, post: 3598375, member: 2973"] Really? Can you find me one example of a compound bow from before the 17th century? I'll help you with the timelines: -- Flintlocks muskets - i.e. muzzleloaders - have been around since the 1600's; -- Flintlock rifles - still muzzleloaders - have been around since the mid 18th century; -- The inline muzzleloader was patented in 1808; -- The compound bow was developed in 1966 and patented in 1969 (that's the late 20th century, if you prefer to look at it that way). From a mechanical aspect, one could argue that the ability of a bow to be fired multiple times in the same space of time that a muzzleloader could be fired only once, doesn't help your primitive argument at all. Mileage may vary; facts do not. [/QUOTE]
