Chapter 26 Bow and Arrow Theory Lesson

I suddenly had a great jihua in my head!

"Ghosts! I ask you to be our coach to all of us, to teach both weapon practices and weapon usage, please train us! Only when everyone becomes independent and strong can this be a truly safe refuge! Otherwise, if one day the zombies in the city really attack on a large scale, only a few strong men will not be able to protect everyone!" My sincere plea to the ghost.

Originally, this ancient skill was a ghost family secret skill, and even passed on to men and women, usually such a secret skill would never be passed on, but I didn't expect the ghost to agree very happily!" In fact, before you came, I taught the guards on the farm, but these boys have never seen a real threat, and they don't have to worry about learning, and I don't want to teach when I'm angry, as long as you want to learn, I'm willing to teach you everything I know! Our family has been passed down from generation to generation for so many years, and it seems that the time has finally come to make a big difference!"

At this point, the three of us happily returned to the Beitian Green Factory, gathered everyone, and told everyone what we thought.

Hearing that there is such a great god who is proficient in cold weapons, everyone worships, and the ghost sees the second brother of the archer with a bow and arrow on his back, and suddenly has the intention of seeing each other late, and the two of them have been sighing for a long time, and the second brother Zuihou readily agreed to be the assistant teacher of the ghost, who is responsible for teaching archery.

We now have close to two hundred people, the number of men is probably in their eighties, and the rest are women, old people and children.

Except for the babies who are still young, the rest of the people can participate in the training, in such an era, everyone has a very heavy sense of crisis, even the old people and weak women with bad legs and feet, they have to learn some skills to defend themselves.

These weak women by no means include a group of female men led by Zhang Qilin, as soon as they heard that there were free coaches to teach their skills, they all seemed to have been beaten with chicken blood, and their fierce aura was no worse than that of a group of big men.

The ghosts divide our people into three groups.

The first group is the archery team, and the ghost teacher selected 20 men with sharp eyes, big shoulders, round waists, and strong arms as the men's bow and arrow group.

The women's group is composed of 12 female men led by Zhang Qilin, plus Ke'er, Xiaoshuang, Xiyan, and Lin Xiaodie, Lin Xiaorui sisters and other eight people, a total of 20 people, Xiyan has been eating the second brother's small stove, the arrow shooting has already looked good, is the only female team member with archery foundation.

So, the archery team now has 20 men and 20 women. The man makes a big bow, and the woman makes a small bow.

The second group is the spear team, which consists of the remaining men. There were about 60 of them.

The third group is the slingshot team, which consists of the rest of the women and teenagers. Some of the elderly also actively participated, and the ghost teacher was happy with it.

In this way, according to the physical fitness of different people, the ghost will teach the skills that are suitable for everyone to learn and apply.

After the personnel are distributed, the next step is to teach everyone to make their own weapons.

The ghost first led the archers to the large conference room on the first floor of the office building, and there was a large whiteboard with wheels in front of this conference room, as well as a black pen, which was very convenient for the ghost to give a lesson.

I also actively followed the study, considering that I may need to be responsible for the coordination of various parts when I actually fight, so I can't participate in a professional team, but I am also very interested in archery! Of course, you have to learn!

Members of other teams are waiting in the lobby outside the conference room.

The ghost cleared his throat and said, "Bows and arrows are the most difficult of these weapons to practice, so you can't let everyone practice, and among the 40 people selected, this part of yours is the most difficult, so please work hard!" Practice at least 100 arrows a day, so that in three or four months you can participate in the actual battle! Don't make archery too easy!

My requirement for you is that you can quickly make a simple standard bow and arrow from local materials in an independent state, and be familiar with the use of it!

I will teach the making part of the bow and arrow, and the training will be taught by the second brother. His archery skills are better than mine, and what I'm better at is crafting. Follow the second brother to learn archery, I believe you will all become archers!

Bows and arrows are weapons that are delivered from a distance. Zombies are full of poison, and they can't get it if they can, so the distance advantage of the bow and arrow is self-evident.

The effective killing of the bow and arrow is 50-100 meters, and if it is too far, it will be boring. Ordinary people may not be able to operate bows and arrows to reach this range, so let's discount it, after everyone trains, the range of each person can reach 20-30 meters!

I'm going to tell you about the monolithic bow, which is what we need to learn how to do it and the bow we will use in the future."

The ghost said as he drew the shape of the bow and arrow on the whiteboard, and the drawing came to life. He's an art teacher? I really don't know how such a weapon-making genius could become an elementary school art teacher, what a talent!" The monolithic bow is made of the same material from top to bottom. The most ideal materials are purple shirt wood and moso bamboo, but we don't have either of these materials on our farm

If we want to make a bow, we can only use local materials, there is little else on the farm, there is no bad wood, there is a wood processing factory to the north of the farm, there is enough wood there, I will take you over to pick,

To make a bow and arrow, you need to choose a piece of wood 1.5-1.7 meters long, it is not too long, too long the bow is not easy to pull, the wood processing factory has a ready-made machine tool, we can cut the wood into a shape that is thick in the middle and thin on both sides. The thickness of the two sides determines the strength of the bow, the thicker the two sides, the greater the strength, the thickest part in the middle is the grip, and then sanded with sandpaper, and then varnished. There are two functions of lacquering, one is waterproof, and the other is insect proof.

There is a hardware paint shop on the farm that no one has, and varnish and sandpaper can be found there.

Well, after slotting at both ends of the bow to tie a nylon rope. After the bow is ready, don't pull too hard, pull it a few more times gently, and then pull it full when you feel that the bow is not so tight, which is called "training the bow".

Let's talk about the pull of the bow, the greater the pull, the longer the range, the more powerful. The compound bow is the strongest, and the monolithic bow is weaker. However, it is enough to fight zombies, the pulling force of the composite bow can reach about 100 pounds, one pound is equivalent to one catty, according to the single bow we made, it is conservatively estimated that the pulling force can reach about 40 pounds, and a bag of rice of 40 pounds You lift the bag above your head with one hand, and the power of firing an arrow is similar to this. Generally, women can't lift 40 pounds, so the archery team can only be men in their prime.

Keep in mind that in the future, if you can't find a suitable length of wood, use two shorter boards, first thin one side, and then tie the bottom ends of the two boards firmly together with wire, so that you can also form a bundled monolithic bow. Range and power are not affected in any way.

I would like to introduce two more ultra-simple bows, one is made of decorated PVC pipes, and the two ends are cut out of a little bevel and tied to a rope. There is also the use of bamboo, a piece of bamboo in northern Fujian, if the bamboo in other regions needs a few thin pieces of bamboo tied together, the short bamboo piece is placed on the inside, the bamboo piece in the handle place is the shortest, and then several bamboo pieces increase the length in turn, and each additional bamboo piece with a thin rope should be tied once.

It is good to use elastic haode nylon rope for the bowstring, and in order to maintain the power of the bow, put the string down when not in use, and put it on again when you use it. If the bowstring is tied for a long time, it is easy to lose weight, which means that the elasticity of the bow will decrease.

Let's talk about the life of the bow, the general life of a single bow is about 20,000 arrows, and you can shoot dozens of arrows a day for several years, and then you start to lose pounds one after another, but a single bow is not much of a problem with about 3 years in terms of our combat intensity.

After talking about the bow, I want to talk about the arrow, the arrow shaft can use a shrub in our northern region, called "Liudaomu", there are many in the forest near the farm, this shrub grows very straight, basically does not need to be straightened, the diameter of the arrow shaft should be the same as the thickness of the little finger.

After collecting the six trees, they must be dried over a charcoal fire and then cut into a length of about 1 meter. The shaft is sanded smooth with sandpaper to reduce friction with the hand when firing, resulting in impact and accuracy. The arrows are made with oversized nails, which the hardware store has. The nail cap was sawed off, a deep groove was cut at one end of the shaft, and the nail was placed in it, and the side was tied with a thin iron wire. The arrow is put on the charcoal fire and burned red, and then smashed slightly with a hammer to smash into a cone, so that the arrow resistance is small, the penetration is strong, and it is easy to pull out if you want to recover after hitting the target.

Zuihou's step is to burn a pot of wood glue, that is, carpentry sticks furniture, if not, we usually use ordinary gelatin for decoration can also be, put the arrow in to fill the gap in the arrow, so that it can increase firmness, and then wrap it around with a strip of cloth to stain it. The tail of the arrow is cut out of cardboard and glued to the shaft. The tail of the arrow is worn out every time you fire, and if you recycle it after use, you must find time to repair it before using it next time.

Another material of the arrow shaft is bamboo, that is, to find the board of thick bamboo and split it into suitable thin strips with a knife, and the subsequent process is the same. If you can't find it, look for a straight branch, bake it over a fire, and then break it with pliers, so that it will be easy to straighten it.

The tail of the arrow is used to dig a shallow groove with a knife to build a bowstring, the groove of the tail of the arrow is aligned with the string when firing, the tail of the arrow is clamped with the index finger and ring finger, and the other two fingers together with the index finger and middle finger hold the bowstring and the thumb protects the tail of the arrow from sliding, and then pulls it back, and when the bottom of the arrow is in contact with the bow body, you can release the hand and let the arrow fly out. This is the "Mediterranean shooting method", and the advantage is that it is more labor-saving. There is also a "Mongolian shooting" Mongolian shooting method is to wear a wrench on the thumb, the wrench is like a large ring-like thing, when pulling the bow, the wrench hooks the string, and the index finger and middle finger clamp the arrow, the advantage of this shooting method is that liliang is fast and fast, but people who have not undergone strict training cannot use this method, and the wrench is not easy to find, so what I want to teach you is the "Mediterranean shooting"!
