210 Chinese recurve compound bow
Speaking of Li Feng's ability to shoot arrows, it's really not bragging, when the security base in California was established, there was an archery training base, and Li Feng also went to play from time to time, and men were always interested in these things.
But what kind of person is Li Feng, but the only magician in this world, when he thinks of carrying a magic golden needle on top of the arrow, within the scope of his spiritual perception, it is simply a matter of cheating, just play casually.
The group arrived at the archery field in the club one after another, which was an indoor base, and in addition to modern bows and arrows, this archery also had ancient Chinese recurve compound bows, which made Li Feng unexpected.
It has to be said that those modern competition bows and arrows have been created with modern technology, and they are all inherited and transformed by the longbows of the European continent. For example, the famous British longbow, etc., its range is about 150 meters, ordinary people may also think that the ancient Chinese bow is just like this, in fact, most people do not understand the situation, in fact, it is really a big mistake.
Since the Han Dynasty, Huaxia has used a recurve compound bow, as for the shape, you can watch the curved bow shape on the film and television, which is very beautiful. But in terms of its power, it is not comparable to the longbows of Europe.
There have been cold weapon enthusiasts who have done a similar test, with a Huaxia recurve compound bow with 8 bucket bow power, the perfect state can shoot to about 1000 meters, and the lethality range is 600 meters, even in the face of ancient heavy armor, it can reach an effective killing range of 250-300 meters.
Most of the standard equipment of archers in the ancient Chinese army is a stone bow, and 1 stone is 10 buckets, which means that the ability will be increased by about 20%.
Seeing this, you should know why Genghis Khan's Mongolian army was able to sweep most of Europe, the Mongolian cavalry's cavalry archery bow is generally above 7 buckets, and the typical technology content is too advanced compared to the European longbow, and there is no comparison at all.
Even Li Feng was thinking, if it was really that kind of strong bow with more than three stone bows, it would be simply a sniper rifle.
……
Compared with the bows and arrows of the ancient battlefield, the modern bows used in competitions are much higher in terms of accuracy, and the shooting difficulty of the bows and arrows in the ancient battlefields of China is also higher.
Naturally, there are other differences, such as the strength of the bow, if you install a pulley or something, the force of the bow will be much saved, not like the so-called ancient times with a few stone bows or something.
Many people often hear that for example, ancient famous generals held 3 stone strong bows or something, but as for the specifics, there is no concept.
In fact, the ancient unit of weight 'stone' changed with different eras, and it was roughly around 30-60 kilograms. As for how to test, it is to fix the bow on the wall, and then hang a weight on the bowstring, when the bowstring is completely opened, the weight of the weight hanging at this time is the bow force of the bow.
In ancient times, a stone bow was already considered a strong bow, as for those famous generals in history, they were all talented people, as for the legendary 6 stone bows, or even 9 stone bows or something, that would be mythologized.
The martial arts of the Tang Dynasty and the archers of the Song Dynasty soldiers all used a stone bow, and generally speaking, a bow of more than 7 buckets was used for riding and shooting, and less than one stone.
When they arrived at the archery range, everyone was attracted by the various bows and arrows in it. Seeing Li Feng walking straight towards the ancient Chinese recurve compound bow, someone who knew how to remind him Li Feng to come.
"John, this is the kind of recurve compound bow in ancient China, although it is very powerful, but unfortunately it is also very difficult, you won't use these, right?" Xiao Superman was worried that Li Feng was not clear about the situation, and immediately reminded.
……
In fact, where did Little Superman know that such an archery range is in the security base, this was proposed by Li Feng at the time, and Li Feng thought of it when he went to the shooting range, which was caused by going to Hearst's ranch a few times.
Li Feng clearly remembers that when he went to the ranch, he heard that they went hunting, although Li Feng was very interested, but in the end it didn't happen, naturally, most of the people in the ranch used firearms for hunting, but Li Feng found that there was a cowboy who used a bow and arrow, which made Li Feng curious.
Therefore, when Li Feng practiced firearm shooting in the base, he suddenly thought of bows and arrows, and put forward a proposal to build an archery range, and then Li Feng naturally collected the bows and arrows popular in Europe and the United States and the bows and arrows in ancient China, and it was at that time that Li Feng learned about the situation of this bow and arrow.
"Oh, what about the strength of these bows?" Li Feng said with a smile to the beautiful black curved bows on display.
"The bow here starts from 5 buckets to 9 stone bows, and the unit of measurement is based on the unit of measurement of the Han Dynasty in China, and the Han Dynasty takes 1 stone as 4 Jun and 10 buckets, of which one Jun is 30 catties, that is to say, 1 bucket is 12 catties. Superman helped explain.
"9 stone bows, can someone pull this thing?" Listening to Li Zekai's words, Li Feng couldn't help but smile and said to him.
"Haha... , How is it possible, this is what we put here after we made it at that time, and there are rewards for these people who can pull the bow in the clubhouse, starting with the three-stone bow, the rewards are also different, in fact, no one has been able to pull the three-stone bow until now. ”
……
One pound in the Han Dynasty is different from today's one catty, one pound in the Han Dynasty is 16 taels, and it is equivalent to about 250 grams and half a catty now.
In other words, a stone bow is actually equivalent to 60 catties today, that is, 30 kilograms of strength. Thinking about it, it's really not small, because pulling the bow is to keep pulling up such a big force, and ordinary people can't move if they pull it a few times, and their hands are weak.
As for the three-stone bow, it is a strength of hundreds of kilograms, and ordinary people really can't do it if they pull such a bow, not to mention those generals who have to draw the bow dozens of times, or even hundreds of times on the battlefield, such people really belong to the type of innate divine power.
And the strength of the bow is not the same as what you can withstand in your hands, ordinary people like to test what bench press, squats, etc., what ordinary people bench press is basically their own weight, and some fitness experts can reach 120% of their body weight.
Therefore, most of those online keyboard warriors who do bench press 1 or 2 hundred kilograms or something at every turn are actually fooling people. And the level of pulling the bow and other people's bench press or something has to drop a lot, so you can think about it.
Those modern bows such as the Olympic Games have been designed with modern technology, and they don't need so much force to pull the bow at all.
……
"Mr. Li, are you going to use such a recurve compound bow to compare, don't blame me for not reminding you, although this bow is really powerful compared to those competition bows, but this is a good archery level, and the strength is too small to pull these bows. Li Feng was listening to Xiao Superman's introduction, but the descendants of Shuangqiu also followed, and then said in a mocking tone.
"Then I'll choose this stone bow, look at those costume dramas in Huaxia film and television works, don't those generals all use three-stone bows, three-stone bows may not be able to pull, so try this stone bow." Li Feng ignored the others, and then picked up a one-stone bow and said to Li Zekai.
With a stone bow in his hand, Li Feng felt a sinking in his hand, and then grabbed the bowstring with his left hand and slowly pulled the ancient bow.
When Li Feng was full, everyone present was impressed by Li Feng, and many people present were able to pull this stone bow away, but looking at Li Feng's expression, there was obviously still some room for improvement, which aroused the curiosity of many people.
After all, many people know that Li Feng's age is actually only 16 years old, and a teenager can easily pull out a one-stone bow, at least it proves that Li Feng's physical fitness should be very good.
