In this History of the Bow episode we are covering The Thompson Brothers with resident Traditional Bowhunting Historian, Gene Hopkins. The Thompson Brothers created the first book to ever be written in English on the subject of bowhunting in 1878. They are also associated with starting the National Archery Association. They are the true godfathers of Modern Traditional Bowhunting, and were the spark that started the bowhunting revolution in the United States.
