Chapter 18 Shooting
Chen Liuyun did not ask Xia Zuo how to use such heavy hidden weapons, and Xia Zuo also did not ask Chen Liuyun how to find a way to get a hidden weapon like this.
When he was resting at night, Xia Zuo vomited blood again, but he was already used to it. Of course, the habit was a habit. The fear was not less when he vomited blood. For him, fear was also common.
He is always so conflicted.
After a conversation with Chen Liuyun and the others, he was considering another question: Should he improve his speed through a hundred-meter running?
He was afraid before, but what Chen Liuyun said made sense. If he ran fast in the battle, he could at least be invincible.
But he quickly shook his head. Not to mention that he is very tight at present, he has new exercises to meet the limit requirements every day. Even if he practices specifically, he cannot run faster than the bullets fired by a gun.
"Continuous exercise and improving the quality of the body in all aspects will also help speed."
"Don't do too much meaningless."
"It is the right way to become a warrior as soon as possible."
When he woke up the next day, Xia Zuo devoted himself to training again. Until noon, he completed the limit requirements of four events: 400-meter running, 110-meter hurdle, javelin, and 1500-meter running.
It is not very difficult, it is even more at ease than yesterday, thanks to Xia Zuo's continued improvement in physical fitness.
Chu Zidong and Tong Qinli were not too surprised that Xia Zuo could complete the last four decathlon events in one morning. Their hearts became numb after watching Xia Zuo train again and again. After being numb, they still couldn't help but wonder, could there be no exercise that could stump this person?
They asked Master Chen Liuyun, but Chen Liuyun did not answer, and his face was always calm and gentle.
During the lunch break, Xia Zuo took another golden nutrient solution. Since he took golden nutrient solution, he has rarely eaten.
With such an expensive nutrient solution, Chu Zidong, the money manager of the martial arts hall, is bleeding every day. If this continues, the money saved by the martial arts hall will be empty.
But Chen Liuyun told Chu Zidong not to worry, and told him when he had no money.
"What kind of projects will be practiced in the afternoon?" Xia Zuo asked.
Chen Liuyun was already prepared for this, and he smiled and said, "Arrow."
Archery is a very old sport. When there are no muskets, bows and arrows have always been the king of individual ranged wars.
"If you want to practice hidden weapons, then practice archery well. The principles of the two are consistent to a certain extent..." Chen Liuyun said this when explaining archery in the afternoon.
For this reason, Xia Zuo became more serious, which was a major event related to his life safety.
Archery athletes use competitive recurve bows, but Chen Liuyun gave Xia Zuo a traditional recurve bow.
The structure of a competitive recurve bow is generally a bow handle, bow piece, bow string, archer, side pad, aim, and balance rod. The structure is very complex. In short, the competitive recurve bow installed with a counterweight balance system and sight can help shooters get more stable and better results.
Chen Liuyun's traditional bow for Xia Zuo did not have auxiliary aiming at all, nor did he have a balanced counterweight system, which undoubtedly increased the difficulty.
The official limit requirement for archery is 18 arrows and 178 rings, but if competitive recurve bows are used, I am afraid that not many people can do it.
This traditional recurve bow is also made of alloy material, which is a bow with a pound of up to one hundred pounds.
"The competitive recurve bow is just a bow used for competitive competitions, and the actual combat significance is not great." Chen Liuyun said slowly: "If a traditional bow can be used to draw the left and right bow, the competitive recurve bow cannot be used. A 60-pound bow can hunt wild boars, bears and other thick-skinned beasts, but a first-level warrior..."
"A bow of one hundred pounds can pose a threat. Since you need to practice archery, it's better to practice tradition. Maybe you will be useful in the future."
Xia Zuo nodded slightly, agreeing with Chen Liuyun's statement, but he was not optimistic about a weapon like a bow, because others would definitely be wary of you when you saw you carrying a bow, and it always took time to prepare for the arrow when pulling the bow and shooting. If it weren't for a sneak attack, it would be difficult to shoot a warrior with the bow and arrow.
So even if his strength can use a three hundred pound bow, it doesn't make much sense.
Practicing traditional bows is indeed better than competitive recurve bows, because when he uses hidden weapons, there is no sight for him to assist in aiming.
The shooting method of traditional bows is very different from competitive recurve bows, but Xia Zuo still mastered it quickly and looked good.
Seeing that Xia Zuo was already familiar with shooting, Chen Liuyun asked Xia Zuo to stand at 70 meters to start practicing shooting. Seventy meters was the distance required to complete the limit score.
Xia Zuo's thumb was wearing a ring to pull the strings. He could get the arrow to a distance of 70 meters without completely pulling the 100-pound bow.
After confirming that he aimed, he let go and the bow and arrow flew out with a loud bang... and did not hit the target, and it was completely tilted.
Xia Zuo's face was calm and he continued to shoot arrows.
"When shooting an arrow, you must keep your eyes fixed on the target, your eyes focus on your heart, and your hands are in your hands."
Chen Liuyun opened his mouth and pointed at him. He was not surprised that the first arrow failed to hit the target. The core of archery is the consistency of movement, where the arrow is placed on the bow string, where the hand is held on the bow handle, where the bow is pulled each time, etc. These must be highly consistent to ensure accuracy.
To achieve consistency of movements, you need to go through a lot of training. The sharpshooter is fed by shooting a large number of arrows.
"There will not be a natural sharpshooter in the world..." Tong Qinli, who was watching on the side, said to Chu Zidong, but he stopped abruptly before he finished speaking.
Because Xia Zuo's second arrow hit the ninth ring in the yellow area.
Xia Zuo frowned slightly, but it was still a little bit worse. He took out the third arrow and shot it without hesitation at it. He could not tolerate too much hesitation. The archery movement has a 30-second time limit.
Duh!
The center ten rings of bullseye.
Starting from the third arrow, Xia Zuo shot the arrow that he shot did not leave the ten-ring bullseye, and he also changed several targets during this period.
The Eighteen Arrows ended, because the first arrow did not hit the target, Xia Zuo scored 169 rings, but there was no doubt that if he continued to shoot, Xia Zuo could still continue to hit the bull's eye.
There will be no natural sharpshooter in the world... Tong Qinli's fat face shook, and the corners of his mouth were stiff and pulled upward. He felt that it would be better to say less in the future, as it would be too slap in the face.
"Change hands." Chen Liuyun said.
Xia Zuo changed to the left hand to shoot the arrow, the first arrow hit the ninth ring, the second arrow hit the tenth ring, the second arrow hit the third arrow.
"Stop." Chen Liuyun spoke again, "Retreat ten meters and shoot an arrow. If you hit the ten rings, then retreat ten meters. When you can't hit the ten rings, you can stop."
Xia Zuo retreated ten meters and stood up and shot. He shot an arrow, but he still shot the bull's eye ten rings.
He continued to retreat ten meters and shot again, still hitting the ten rings.
He stepped back ten meters and stood at one hundred meters to look at the target and continued shooting arrows.
An accurate arrow hit the bull's-eye.
