I don't get ticked or mad. I just grin and ask ....
"Oh, Yeah. When did the Apaches invent the wheel?"
Or
"Yep, those English longbow really liked the composite plastic wheels."
Or
"Did the Mongol hoard use Delrin for their horn bows as well?"
I just can't understand why some people call me a smart ass.

Not sure what that has to do with throwing knives, but bow snobbery is silly.

Kinda knife throwing related
.... arrows are kinda like specialized throwing knives. They are sharp and pointy (hunting heads ==> hunting knives which are sharp) or just pointy (target points ==> throwing knives which are pointy but not real sharp).
You just use both hands instead of 1 hand.
Arrows are no-spin (end-over-end-wise) and rotational (spin-stabilized) at the same time.
