Product introduction

★ Recreating the ancient charm, reviving the legend of the Indigenous Crossbow！★

Through assembling and testing an indigenous crossbow, children learn about its design and how it works. They practice adjusting the shooting angle to hit targets accurately and see how the string's angle and tension affect the range. This hands-on activity helps them apply what they’ve learned in physics, science, and math. They also discover the historical importance of the indigenous crossbow, experiencing the unique appeal of this ancient hunting tool, making learning more fun and engaging.

The design process follows STEAM education principles, emphasizing hands-on creation, innovation, and invention. Through practical exploration, children enhance their skills in calculation, critical thinking, and judgment, unlocking their potential. We also prioritize safety by using suction-cup soft darts, ensuring that children can test the crossbow safely.

｜A tory of Indigenous Crossbow｜

The indigenous crossbow is a projectile weapon composed of a bow and a stock, influenced by the introduction of firearms, and evolved into a traditional design. Used primarily for hunting and tribal defense, it is made from natural materials such as wood, bamboo, and rattan. The bow is typically short, making it well-suited for use in forests and mountainous terrain. Despite its simple design, the crossbow was highly effective in range and accuracy at the time. It serves not only as a practical tool but also symbolizes cultural heritage and the craftsmanship of indigenous peoples.
