Amazing.Trial and error. What a novel concept. Never heard of it before.
The first bow must have been square, with the arrow having a point on both ends.

"The first bow must have been square, with the arrow having a point on both ends."
Actually the bow looked pretty much as it does now, and the arrows did too. It just took them a while to get the string on the backside of the bow. They finally got it right after about 30 cavemen (thought to belong to the United Socialist Democrat Caveweapon Builders Union) impaled themselves in the throat.
I took a while because with injuries of this type they were unable to communicate to the other union members just what went wrong.
