SF Bow and Arrow Film (1961)

Penetrating Power of Bow & Arrow vs Firearms 1961 US Army Special Forces

We played with bows (recurve and cross) a few times just to learn the skill set but never deployed with them.

I know they were used by a few guys, though, like RT Pick 1-0 Bob Graham during some CCS operations (Graham w/bow, Crimmings, Ash, and Oppel returning from Daniel Boone AO).
