How long has mankind has the bow and arrow?

I know that artisans in the prehistoric southwest (far away from any ocean) were drilling seashells with a stick twisted in a bow, long before electricity. Those original heishi have amazingly small holes.

Actually, so were South Americans so it is just a matter of tracing the drilling technology back.
