Chapter 215: Beginner Archery
It's a pity that the archery teacher who came out was not a beautiful teacher, but a middle-aged man in his forties.
Let Guan Lang breathe a sigh of relief, now he can study hard.
The archery teacher's figure is not slender, and his appearance is not amazing.
Unlike in film and television dramas, those who draw bows and shoot arrows are generally elegant elves.
The archery teacher surnamed Jiang didn't talk nonsense, and after introducing himself, he took Guan Lang into an idle archery hall.
Thanks to the gradual popularity of archery in recent years, there are more and more people like Guan Lang who want to experience this novel sport.
Therefore, many arrow halls have launched a novice package for shooting a group of arrows for dozens of yuan, or an hour-long experience class.
And the vast majority of people tend to be hot for three minutes, because for novices, even if it is a fixed target that is close at hand like six meters or eight meters, it is a very difficult goal to hit the target when trying it for the first time.
This frustration has led 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 freshness.
Therefore, he didn't explain too much about the basic knowledge of bows and arrows, and first sent a practice bow to Guan Lang.
"There are probably four types of bows and arrows, traditional bows, compound bows, recurve bows, American hunting bows, and the practice bow that is now issued to you to play is a recurve bow. The teacher mentioned it slightly.
Guan Lang held this longbow with soft lines in his hand, this was his first time in contact with this sport, and he naturally couldn't help but be a little curious.
"Teacher, how much pull does it take to pull this bow apart?" Guan Lang asked curiously.
"This practice bow is 20 pounds, which is nine kilograms of pull. ”
The practice bow in the archery hall is generally under 20 pounds, after all, for urban people with thin arms and legs in modern cities, 20 pounds of tension is not small, and the bow with too much weight is not easy to grasp and easy to injure the user.
He only gave him 20 pounds because he saw Guan Lang's strong body, and he usually issued 15 pounds of practice bows for other novices.
For archery gyms, safety is the most important thing.
He glanced at Guan Lang's strong arm muscles and tall body a few times, and nodded.
"Teacher, isn't it too light, or you can change to a bow with a bigger pound for me. Guan Lang weighed the longbow in his hand and asked hesitantly.
He hadn't tested the strength of his arm precisely, but he estimated that there was at least three or four hundred kilograms of pulling force.
This is only less than ten kilograms of ten-strength bow, will it be too light.
When the archery teacher heard Guan Lang's words, he shook his head with a smile: "Don't be too confident, let's talk about it after you shoot these thirty-six arrows." ”
Novices are not in the right posture, and often they can't pull the bow for a long time at all, and they keep opening the bow, and soon the arm will be sore.
Therefore, when trying it for the first time, there is no need to use a bow with a large pound, practicing a good posture with a bow with a light pound is the most important thing, and increasing the tension is naturally something that is considered after becoming proficient.
The bow posture of pulling a large number of pounds is easy to deform, and it will be too late to correct it later.
Of course, these are also the problems that many newcomers will have, and they always feel that the pound is small.
But the bow and arrow are not grips, accuracy is the most important thing, and a 20-pound bow is enough at a range of ten meters.
Although Guan Lang was a little disappointed, he still nodded.
Anyway, he just came to experience archery, and by the way to learn some basic skills, as for the purchase of a bow, he will buy a satisfactory one in the future.
The teacher first gave Guan Lang a demonstration.
I saw him slowly pull out his longbow and aim slightly.
With a soft click, the arrow landed steadily in the center of Huang's heart, and it was in the middle of the ten rings.
Of course, this also has to do with the venue, after all, the distance between the target here is only ten meters.
Guan Lang saw that his hands were a little itchy, and when he was about to try it himself, he was stopped by the coach.
After putting on the protective gear, the coach told him some tips and safety matters.
Maybe it's because it's still early, it's not a hot time, and there are not many people in the stadium, so the coach also spoke in great detail.
The first trial class is a special discount, only 30 yuan, there is a professor class, and 36 arrows are also given.
However, after the arrows are shot, you need to buy another arrow, a set of twelve arrows for 20 yuan.
The posture taught by the coach is not complicated, Guan Lang memorized it after listening to it once.
Learn the coach's movements, put the arrow on the arrow platform, pre-open the bow in a low position, do not move, turn your head to look at the target, and turn your arm......
The coach standing on the side nodded, and although the posture was a little stiff, it was already very standard for beginners who were new to the sport.
The standing posture, bow lifting, bow opening, and leaning position are all completed in accordance with his requirements at a glance.
However, there was one thing that made him can't help but shake his head, this student may have watched too many film and television dramas, so he aimed his bow diagonally.
In fact, it is true, Guan Lang felt that this posture of diagonal bow archery was particularly handsome, and the posture was also comfortable, so he put it like this.
The coach frowned, but Guan Lang was firing the bow, and he didn't bother, preparing to wait for him to finish shooting the arrow and then go up to correct Guan Lang's posture.
"Boom--- da!"
There was the sound of an arrow hitting the target.
He was about to give him some pointers, but when he looked back at the target, he saw that the arrow was in the middle of the yellow heart, the ten rings.
Luck so good?
He hesitated for a while, but still hesitated to point out the problem of Guan Lang's posture.
In fact, it is not impossible to shoot arrows with an oblique bow, and the posture of diagonal bow archery is still relatively common in the field of traditional bows and arrows, but in modern archery, oblique bows are listed as the wrong archery posture.
Especially for newcomers, it is almost impossible to repeat the same bevel every time.
"Change this diagonal bow archery posture, although you hit the chance this time, but not every time you can hit the luck, you can try another arrow. ”
"Oh. Guan Lang nodded.
Recalling the strength and angle of the bow just now, he aimed at the target again.
With a click, the coach looked back and saw that it was the middle of the ten rings again.
"Gree......" The coach smiled bitterly, and how did he continue to teach.
In other words, is it a matter of luck or talent?
How do you hit the Ten Rings twice in a row?
If it's talent, it's amazing......
He didn't know that this second opening of the bow and ten rings was actually a sure thing for Guan Lang.
Maybe the first arrow had an element of luck, he just estimated the angle and felt that he might be able to hit the target, but who knew that it would hit the bull's-eye all of a sudden.
At the same distance and in the same position, the second arrow was just a simple imitation and repetition for him. ... Friends who read books, you can search for "Blue Chinese Network", you can find this site as soon as possible.
