Chapter 5 5. The 8 Essentials of Bows and Arrows

"Our armory at the south gate is only bows and arrows, crossbow carts, and swords. The armaments at the other two gates are similar, but our stock of bows and arrows is more than the sum of their two gates. The corresponding It’s just that the pressure is even greater, so you need to practice bow and arrow now, you don’t need to hit the head with one arrow, but you have to shoot zombies.” Song Xiaoliu spent half a day explaining the entire arsenal to Ning Fan, and said He intends to make Ning Fan into an archer.

After leaving the arsenal, he clapped his hands and called two city guards to the city guard training camp with a bamboo bow made of green bamboo in the jungle, ten quiveres, and a hundred arrows.

"Come on, I'll teach you how to practice archery." Song Xiaoliu said solemnly.

"Okay." Ning Fan touched the starlight cannon in the inner pocket of the red coat, and pondered for a while. It needs a long-range weapon. The starlight cannon's lethality against zombies within ten meters is not bad, but Regardless of whether you can hit it at a long distance, it doesn't do much damage. It's just a waste of bullets. Although bows and arrows have low lethality, they can't stand it!
South City Gate, City Guard Training Camp.

Song Xiaoliu stood in the training camp and faced the target, picked up the bamboo bow and shot casually, hitting the red heart!

"Have you ever tried archery?"

"No."

Song Xiaoliu said softly: "Then you only need to memorize the 8 essentials, stance, nocking the arrow, picking the string, pre-drawing, drawing the bow, aiming, unstringing, and relaxing."

"These 8 essentials are first of all stance, which is the most basic and the most important," Song Xiaoliu was seen standing on the shooting line, with his left shoulder facing the target, his left hand holding a bow, and standing with his feet shoulder-to-shoulder. The same width, the weight of the body falls evenly on both feet, and the body leans forward slightly.

"Nocking the arrow, pulling the string, pre-drawing, and aiming the bow can all be done in one go."

"The arrow rests on the arrow rest, the main feather of the monochrome is directed towards you, the nock groove is buckled on the bowstring arrow button, when the bow is raised, the left arm sinks, the elbow is internally rotated, the left hand pushes the bow with the tiger's mouth, and the left shoulder pushes the right shoulder to pull. Pull the bow, and continue to pull it until the "hukou" of the right hand rests on the lower jaw, and at the same time connect the eye, the front sight and the aiming point on the target in a line. After aiming, the right shoulder continues to exert force and at the same time, the three fingers of the right hand that hold the string are quickly opened , and the arrow shoots out."

"Then just relax. After the arrow hits the target, relax the left arm from the wrist, elbow, shoulder to the whole body in turn. Have you learned it?" Song Xiaoliu recited to Ning Fan the 8 essentials explained to him by Commander Wang. .

"The brain understands, the eyes understand, but the hands still can't," Ning Fan looked at with a confused face. There are so many ways to shoot an arrow. It's not just holding the bow with the left hand, pulling the arrow with the right hand and then shooting it out. Is it over?

"Come on, you shoot at the target once."

Ning Fan recalled the general posture, then held the bow, nocked the arrow, and shot an arrow at the target.

"Good shot," Song Xiaoliu clapped his hands.

"Could this target be your lover? You hit the target!" The target 50 meters away was empty, and the one next to it almost hit the red heart, obviously missing the target.

"Practice well, it's not night yet, when you can hit the red heart, then you can replace it with an arrow target at a distance of 80 meters," Song Xiaoliu seemed to see himself who was clumsy and almost shot Wang Junchang, and pointed at him. The two city guards who came with their quiver on their backs shouted: "Take my identity badge and go to the arsenal to get fifty quiver. After shooting, pick up the scattered ones and give them to him."

"Okay, Captain Song." Two city guards with expressionless faces responded.
