Agreed. We made the nuke before the compound bow because precision machining wasn't that easy to do, but one we got it down, tools changed rapidly.
First bow- Paleolithic 48,000 BC or older Longbow- 4,000 BC or older Composite bow- 3000-1200 BC Compound bow- 1966 AD Fission nuke- 1945 Fusion bomb 1952
