991.Bow Out (2/5)
The parrot is good at dealing with small mice, and if the little mice are exterminated, then there will be no big mice. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info
Starting in mid-April, Sunset Town's mighty rodent war begins, and the rules of the event are enacted, and townspeople can catch rats in the town for prizes.
Five rats can be exchanged for a bottle of beer, a box of toothpaste, a small bottle of laundry detergent, etc., ten rats can be exchanged for a medium bottle of laundry detergent, a pack of biscuits, a can of canned fruit, and twenty rats can be exchanged for a pound of pasture-grown pork, two chicken legs, a bottle of milk, etc.
The prizes are abundant, only a few are listed, and if two hundred rats are caught at once, the prize is a leg of mutton, which is very tempting for the townspeople.
Lamb from the pasture is very expensive, at least 200 New Zealand dollars for a sheep's hind leg!
The one who had more opinions about this activity was the medical brother, who complained to Wang Bo: "Mayor of the town, you have to warn me first, the hospital has not prepared enough vaccines for tetanus, plague and other vaccines, I have to apply and dispatch." ”
Indeed, the rat hunting fever is risky, but the wild mice are very tough, they will not be caught easily, and even if they are caught, they have the determination to die and break the net, and people are easy to get injured if they are not careful.
But Wang Bo had Kidd under him, so he went through the back door again, and a large number of vaccines were sent to the town.
Delivering vaccines requires a professional refrigerated truck with the sign of the Inspection and Quarantine Bureau, and when I saw this truck driving to the town, some people asked if there was a biochemical crisis......
Wang Bode took the lead in exterminating rats, he went to the pasture, and in order to avoid affecting the livestock, he did not allow the townspeople to enter the pasture to catch rats, where he was responsible for the rat catch, and of course the helpers such as the sheep and parrots.
On weekends, the sun hangs in the sky, basking the late autumn grasslands warmly.
The coldest months in New Zealand are usually June, July and August, but April and May are also not warm, unless the sun hangs in the sky like today.
Wang Bo and Eva drove to the ranch together, and then Atulu, Uncle Bing, and others arrived, and Uncle Bing's car was loaded with some bows and crossbows, which were the best weapons for hunting opossums.
Of course, it is better to use a gun, the rate of fire is fast, the reloading is easy and powerful, but the people are not allowed to have a muffler, the gun without a muffler is too noisy, and it is difficult to say how many mice can be shot in the pasture, anyway, the cattle and sheep have to scare a group to death.
So, a bow and crossbow is a good choice.
These crossbows were rented from Uncle Bing's shop in Maxson's shop, and the old man had accumulated dozens of crossbows of various specifications and powers, including traditional bows, recurve bows, compound bows, straight-drawn bows, and so on.
The compound bow is the big killer used by Rambo in the first drop of blood, with wheels on it, once the bowstring is opened, the power is super large, the power is terrifying, and it is a necessary weapon for old shooters to travel at home.
Wang Bo was also fascinated by its appearance after seeing the compound bow, and wanted to try it when he got his hand, but Atulu held him down: "Chief, I suggest you use a recurve bow." ”
The straight draw bow is to tighten the bowstring in the direction of the natural bend of the bow, and the recurve bow is the bow to tighten the bowstring in the opposite direction of its natural bend, and the Chinese horn bow is a typical compound bow.
Wang Bo looks at the weapon is to look at the appearance, which can be seen from the gun he buys, the SL8 civilian rifle is defended against the famous rifle G36, which is very beautiful.
He disliked that the recurve bow was not as technical as the compound bow, and Aturu said: "But it can train your interest in the sport, don't use the compound bow directly, if you get beaten by the bowstring once, you won't play with the bow again!" ”
The tension of the recurve bow is relatively low, and when the posture is not standard and the technique is not skilled, there will be no major accidents, and at most the forearm will be red.
In addition, the requirements and damage of the arrows are not too great, so the probability of accidents caused by equipment non-maintenance that is more common to novices is relatively low.
The tension of the compound bow is a lot, and these are made by Maxson for real cowboys, used to shoot cows, deer and horses, and the poundage starts at sixty pounds, and the whip is on the arm, which is directly a bloody wound!
Eva didn't even let Wang Bo use the recurve bow, she found a light crossbow and handed it to him: "Let's use this, you use the bow and arrow, and you may not get anything for the whole day." ”
Lao Wang was not convinced, he took a recurve bow, and instantly opened the bow like a full moon.
His understanding of bows and arrows is that when Zhou Haojie got married not long ago, he was responsible for shooting three arrows.
At that time, he thought it was very simple, but it didn't need to aim, he would take a bow and arrow to hit the target, especially to attack a small target like a possum that moved super fast, and he was suddenly confused.
He can pull the bowstring easily, that's fine, but he can't hit the target!
A group of people waited to see him laugh, it was like this, when hunting, the opossum was the most difficult level, and a rookie like him, who was new to the bow and arrow, could shoot this kind of target is the hell.
An arrow was shot, and the king didn't know where the arrow flew.
Fortunately, he took the strong man with him, and the strong man did not let him lose so many people, he rushed out and retrieved the shaft of the arrow, saving him some face.
"Cool, shoot so far." Aturu applauded.
Wang Bo spat stupidly and chose the hand crossbow that Eva had chosen for him.
"This is best for you, and voila, it also comes with a laser sight, find the prey when you open it, locate it, pull the trigger, there is almost no recoil, the prey is in hand." Eva explained to him.
Wang Bo asked, "What do you use?" ”
Eva picked up another light crossbow and said, "Husband and wife are of the same heart, and I naturally follow my husband and wife." ”
"Chinese is really good now." That Qingyang said with a smile, he also chose a hand crossbow.
Uncle Bing and Peterson chose recurve bows, while Aturu chose a traditional longbow.
Wang Bo asked, "Why don't you use a pulley bow?" ”
Aturu smiled, "Is that also called a bow and arrow?" Bullshit, that's just an archery machine built up by a machine, and that's the only one that deserves the title of bow! ”
Uncle Bing asked, "Do you really choose a longbow?" ”
"Of course, didn't I make the right choice?"
Wang Bo asked, "What's so important about this?" ”
Eva said, "Now, only the best archers will choose the longbow, it is powerful, but it uses a super test of skill. But if it's a really good archer, then a longbow in hand is better than a rifle! ”
Li Xing chose the recurve bow, and he shrugged his shoulders and said: "When I was a mercenary, we all used this thing, fighting a war, as long as we lived, we didn't care about face or anything." ”
Aturu sneered, "I was just pretending to be coercive, not trying to sarcastically mock you. ”
A possum came out in a big way, and this guy was quite big, like a small rabbit.
Seeing the mouse, Aturu's eyes lit up immediately, and he stared at the rat when it stopped digging grass roots to eat, and suddenly raised his bow and arrow. (To be continued.) )
