Did any Native American tribes develop advanced horse archery techniques?
If not, why?
Scarcity of metal:
Native Americans had limited access to metal, which made it difficult to create the necessary components for compound bows, such as metal stringers and pulleys.
No one to teach how to make compound bows:
Compound bows were a relatively new invention at the time of European contact, and there was no one to teach Native Americans how to make them.
As a result, Native American tribes did not develop advanced horse archery techniques to the same extent as their Eurasian counterparts. However, some tribes, such as the Comanche and Apache, did develop skilled horseback archers using traditional bows and arrows.
