  • Die Kunst Des Bogenschießens, Es Schießt !
    Die Kunst des Bogenschießens, Es schießt ! Eine kurze Einführung in die Geschichte des Bogenschießens, vermutet werden erste Entwicklung vor 50.000 Jahren, hochwertige Bögen entstehen beginnend in der Mittelsteinzeit, 8000 bis 6000 vor unserer Zeitrechnung, „Ötzi“ vor 5.300 Jahren war komplett mit Bogen und Pfeil ausgerüstet, hatte einen Eibenbogen und einen Köcher mit 14 Pfeilen. Die vor dieser Zeit verwendeten Waffen, die auch auf weitere Entfernung in der Lage waren, Wildtiere ohne das Risiko der Gefahr der Gegenwehr zu erlegen, wie ein Speer oder eine Speerschleuder, wurden sehr rasch durch den Bogen ersetzt. Leicht herstellbar, mit einiger Übung einsetzbar und das Holz überall verfügbar war es die ideale Jagdwaffe. Die durchgängig verwendeten Pfeilspitzen waren aus Feuerstein geschlagen und brauchen einen Vergleich mit einer Metallspitze in Bezug auf Schärfe nicht scheuen. Die Urform des Bogens war ein gekrümmter Stab, bearbeitet oder nicht bearbeitet, in Spannung gehalten durch eine Sehne, und als Geschoss ein Pfeil, mit einer Spitze aus Stein und einer Befiederung zur Stabilisation versehen. Die ältesten steinernen Pfeilspitzen werden auf ein Alter von über 50.000 Jahren geschätzt. Erst vor etwa 10.000 Jahren entstanden Höhlenmalereien, die steinzeitliche Jäger mit Bogen darstellen. Im Mesolithikum ( 10.000 – 3.000 v.Chr. ) finden sich die ersten Originale von Bögen, die den natürlichen Zerfallprozess überdauert haben. Ich beobachte immer wieder, dass Knaben ohne Anweisung durch Erwachsene in einer nicht städtischen Umgebung selbständig Bögen und Pfeile in einfacher Form herstellen, hat sich da bereits eine Information übertragen ? Diese geniale Entwicklung hat sich bis heute in natürlich technisch vollkommener Form erhalten, der Erfindungsreichtum hat aber zu allen Zeiten verschiedene Konstruktionsformen hervorgebracht, die uns auch heute noch Bewunderung abverlangen.
