[QUOTE="sterling_archer, post: 959461, member: 11955"] Regarding Andaman islanders, they are one of the most fascinating cultures you can probably think of. No one, except some undiscovered Amazon tribes can come close. Why? They live de facto in stone age and have not made any real contact with civilization. They are 100% hostile and will kill you on sight. The closest people got to them was by helicopter and what happened? They shot at it with bows hahah! Regarding bows they have absolutely unique ones.

In any way they are pretty much low performance but Andamanese prefer them over any circular tiller bows (first bow invented). What is also interesting?
