Unfortunately, the archery teacher who came out was not a beautiful teacher, but a middle-aged man in his forties.
Guan Lang breathed a sigh of relief and could study hard now.
The archery teacher's figure is not slender and his appearance is not amazing.
Unlike in movies and TV shows, those who draw bows and shoot arrows are usually graceful elves.
The archery teacher surnamed Jiang didn't talk nonsense. After introducing himself, he took Guan Lang into an empty archery hall.
Thanks to the increasing popularity of archery in recent years, more and more people like Guan Lang want to experience this novel sport.
Therefore, many archery studios have launched novice packages that cost tens of yuan to shoot a set of arrows, or a one-hour trial class.
The vast majority of people tend to focus on three minutes, because for novices, even if it is a fixed target that is close at hand, such as six meters or eight meters, it is a very difficult target to hit the target on the first try.
.
This frustration causes many people to give up on the sport after experiencing it only once.
Naturally, the archery teacher only regards people like Guan Lang as people who come to experience the novelty.
Therefore, he did not explain too much about the basic knowledge of bows and arrows. He first gave Guan Lang a practice bow.
"There are roughly four types of bows and arrows, traditional bows, compound bows, recurve bows, and American hunting bows. The practice bow given to you now is a recurve bow." The teacher mentioned a little.
Guan Lang was holding this long bow with soft lines in his hand. This was his first time coming into contact with this sport, so naturally he was a little curious.
"Teacher, how much pulling force is needed to pull this bow?" Guan Lang asked curiously.
"This practice bow has a draw weight of 20 pounds, which is about nine kilograms."
The practice bows in archery halls are generally under 20 pounds. After all, for urbanites with thin arms and legs in modern cities, the draw force of 20 pounds is already quite a lot, and a bow that is too heavy can be easily injured if not mastered well.
to the user.
He only gave Guan Lang a 20-pound bow just because he was strong. Generally, he gave Guan Lang 15-pound practice bows to other novices.
For archery halls, safety is the most important issue.
From the corner of his eye, he glanced at Guan Lang's strong arm muscles and tall body, and nodded.
"Teacher, is it too light? Why don't you give me a bow with a larger weight?" Guan Lang weighed the longbow in his hand and asked hesitantly.
He has not conducted an accurate test on the strength of his arm, but he estimates that it has a pulling force of at least three to four hundred kilograms.
With a draw weight of less than ten kilograms, is this bow too light?
When the archery teacher heard Guan Lang's words, he smiled and shook his head: "Don't be too confident. You can wait until you finish shooting these thirty-six arrows."
Novices who start working with incorrect postures often cannot draw a bow of any weight for the first time. If they keep drawing the bow, their arms will soon become sore.
Therefore, when you try it for the first time, there is no need to use a heavy-weight bow. The most important thing is to use a light-weight bow to practice good posture. As for increasing the weight, it is naturally something that should be considered after mastering the skills.
The posture of drawing a bow with a large weight is easily deformed, and it will be too late to correct it later.
Of course, these are also the problems that many newbies have. They always feel that the pounds are too small.
But bows and arrows are not grippers, accuracy is the most important. Within a range of ten meters, a 20-pound bow is enough.
Although Guan Lang was a little disappointed, he still nodded.
Anyway, he just came to experience archery and learn some basic skills. As for the purchase of a bow, he would buy one that he wanted in the future.
The teacher first gave Guan Lang a demonstration.
I saw him slowly drawing the long bow and taking aim slightly.
With a soft clicking sound, the arrow landed steadily in the center of the yellow heart, hitting the ten rings.
Of course, this is also related to the venue. After all, the target distance here is only ten meters.
Guan Lang felt a little itchy after seeing it, and when he was about to give it a try himself, he was stopped by the coach.
After putting on the protective gear, the coach told him some skills and safety matters.
Perhaps it was because it was still early, not a popular time, and there were not many people in the venue, so the coach also spoke in great detail.
The first trial class is a special discount. It's only 30 yuan, there is a teaching class, and 36 arrows are given as a gift.
But after you finish shooting, you need to buy additional arrows. A set of twelve arrows costs 20 yuan.
The postures taught by the coach were not complicated, and Guan Lang memorized them after listening to them once.
Follow the instructor's movements, place the arrow on the arrow rest, pre-open the bow at a low position, keep your body still, turn your head to look at the target, and turn your arms
The coach standing aside nodded. Although the posture was a bit stiff, it was already very standard for beginners who were coming into contact with this sport for the first time.
The stance, bow raising, bow firing, and positioning were all done according to his requirements in a precise manner.
But there was one thing that made him couldn't help but shake his head. Perhaps the student aimed the bow at an angle because he had watched too many movies and TV shows.
In fact, this is indeed the case. Guan Lang felt that this posture of shooting with an oblique bow was particularly handsome and comfortable, so he adopted it like this.
The coach frowned when he saw it, but Guan Lang was shooting the bow, so he didn't bother him and was ready to wait until he finished shooting the arrow before going up to correct Guan Lang's posture.
"Wha-da!"
There was the solid sound of an arrow hitting the target.
He was about to give him some instructions, but when he looked back at the target, he saw that the arrow hit the yellow center with ten rings.
So lucky?
He hesitated for a while, then hesitantly pointed out the issue of Guan Lang's posture.
In fact, it is not impossible to shoot with an oblique bow. The oblique bow archery posture is still relatively common in the field of traditional archery, but in modern archery, the oblique bow is classified as a wrong archery posture.
Especially for newcomers, it is almost impossible to repeat the same bevel every time.
"Change the archery posture of this oblique bow. Although you hit the target by chance this time, you can't hit the target every time. You can try another arrow."
"Oh." Guan Lang nodded.
Recalling the strength and angle of the bow just now, he aimed the bow at an angle again.
With a squeaking sound, the coach looked back and saw that he had hit the tenth ring again.
"Uh," the coach smiled bitterly, asking him how to continue teaching.
By the way, is this a matter of luck or talent?
Why did he hit the tenth ring twice in a row?
If we call it talent, then this talent is amazing, right?
He didn't know that this second bowing of ten rings was actually a sure thing for Guan Lang.
Perhaps the first arrow was a matter of luck. He just estimated the angle and strength and thought it might hit the target, but who knew it would hit the target in no time.
At the same distance and position, for him, the second arrow is just a simple imitation and repetition of a friend who reads a book. You can search for "" to find this site as soon as possible.
