It can be seen from the association's work that the various types have evolved and evolved into different stages. The association work is not complete and does not belong to the same period, and there is ample evidence to learn about the different ethnic community in the association. Exoduses speak of emotional departmental discipline and Exodus speaks of heroic battles. Songs praising the war also showcase the weapons. Data on tools such as bows and arrows are also available. The bow and arrow are symbolically identified with certain concepts with a social background. The bow and arrow set out to illustrate societal evolution and biological values. The purpose of this article is to discuss the movements of the bow and arrow community, although numerous weapons are found in literary references.
