We have “arrowheads” as old as 72000 years old. Some found outside of Africa are 40ish thousand years old. We’re not certain what these objects are, but we’re pretty sure they’re arrowheads.
The oldest evidence for a bow we’ve found is only 9000 years old. But if you think about what a bow is made of, it stands to reason that we wouldn’t find one much older than that.
