Chapter Eighty-Four: Whoever Says There Is a Bow Has The World
When the bow is almost done, it's time to get the bowstring.
As mentioned before, the bowstring should not be made of elastic material, which will affect the flight trajectory of the bow and arrow.
Therefore, there is no need to use any rare materials, and ropes made of plant fibers are sufficient.
Wang Yang cut holes in the two ends of the bow, then called the osteologist to him, grabbed the other end of the bow, stepped on the bow on the ground himself, broke it into a small crescent moon backwards, and then took the thin string that had been prepared long ago and tied it into a knot.
A monolithic bow is ready.
The bows he made were classified under the category of recurve bows, that is, the bow was wound upside down.
Another classification is the straight-draw bow, which requires more strength for each point it is drawn.
The recurve bow is a better version, and the pulling force is more even.
Wang Yang made this bow in order to save effort.
With a bow, there must be arrows.
The material of the arrow is large, the shaft, the arrow, the feather.
Wang Yang won't, so he won't say much.
He made himself a few wooden arrows, which were round rods, and sharpened them.
Then he walked to the mouth of the cave and prepared to shoot one.
By this time the snow had stopped, the cold wind was not strong, and the ground was white, and it was easy to see where the arrows were going.
When everyone saw that he had been working on it for so long and had finally done it, they couldn't help but stand next to him and look at him.
Wang Yang took a deep breath, lifted the arrow and wound it, pulled it hard, stepped back, the bow angle was immediately bent, facing the desolation of the ground, looking up to the sky at 45 degrees, "coughing", and shooting an arrow.
The moment he loosened his strings, the arrow flew quickly into the air, and in the blink of an eye, it flew twenty meters away, and was blown by the wind in the sky, flew higher, and fell to the right.
"Woo~" Everyone shouted in surprise, for them who had never seen a bow and arrow, it was hard to imagine that a wooden bar and a rope could make a certain object fly out.
But it was just surprise, no more feelings.
"It's so crooked......" Wang Yang wiped his face, not feeling much loss at this funny result, but still very happy.
It's the first bow I made, and it's as it should be that it's not powerful.
Judging from the performance just now, the strength of the bow is not bad, the difference is in the arrow and his own skill, the arrow is too light, the breeze blows off the track, and the wooden arrow is not much power.
It is estimated that the lethal range of this preparation is within twenty meters, which is just the right distance in the intricate forest.
However, in terms of the material of this wooden arrow and the performance of this bow, it is okay to shoot rabbits or something, but it is impossible to shoot wild boars with thicker skin.
When everyone saw him finish shooting, they couldn't help but want to try something new, and looking at their appearance, it seemed that they were like toys.
Wang Yang handed them the bow and watched from the sidelines.
The exorcist tried first, he took the string, pulled it, and was amazed at how much effort it took to draw the bow, and it took several attempts to catch the arrow.
Wang Yang taught him to hold the arrow with two fingers and pull it back.
He pulled the bow full at once, and wanted to pull it hard, but Wang Yang hurriedly shouted at him, suppressed his momentum, and pulled it down again, which could directly break the bow.
This is not a joke, it is two months of hard work, and it is a pity to waste it like this.
It's not difficult to pull the bow out, it's hard to keep the bow full and take the same amount of effort when aiming at the prey, which is common to almost all recurve bows.
After adjusting his strength, he let it out.
The arrow rushed straight up, and when the wind blew, it was crooked.
Others try one by one.
There were not many arrows, only a few, and Wang Yang had to go out from time to time to pick them up.
The power of the arrows was not good, and not a single one of them was nailed to the tree, and all of them were knocked to the ground.
When Wang Yang asked them to try, he kept watching from the side, for fear that they would break it.
At the end of the day, everyone's energy was not so strong, and finally they stopped pestering, except for a few children who still wanted to play, everyone else felt that it was not interesting.
Wang Yang threw the bow to the exorcists for safekeeping, and wondered whether to produce bows and arrows in large quantities.
After thinking about it, I still dispelled this idea, after all, it takes too long to make a qualified bow, and the energy consumed is too great, and I am almost exhausted.
It's hard to get them to help make it, and the tedious processes behind it are enough to make their heads big.
And the power is too small is a problem that has to be considered, effective killing within twenty meters, even the skin of a wild boar can't be shot through, it's better to be an honest ambush.
Even with a whole bunch of bows, accuracy and how to train are debatable, these are all questions.
Wang Yang thought about it for a long time and found that on the issue of the bow, he still needed to be cautious, and he couldn't drag down the better development because of a momentary hothead.
