Archery skills and methods

1, commonly known as gun, is the action of pointing the gun in the direction of the target when shooting. This action seems simple, but it is the first link in the whole shooting process. The gun is not straight, which will affect the aiming and firing. In the process of hunting, because the moving target is often shot, the gun action must be fast and accurate to gain time for aiming and firing, otherwise the prey will be out of the effective range of the shotgun. 2. Shotgun aiming has no gauge, and the aiming method is very different from rifling gun. Shotgun aiming can be divided into aiming aiming method and aiming aiming method. Sight aiming method: also known as sight aiming method, raise the muzzle appropriately when aiming, so that the eyes can see the sight. Because the muzzle and sight are raised and the line of sight points below the target, the target must be placed above the sight to hit. This method can clearly see the target, which is convenient for aiming and shooting in motion, but it needs to master the degree of muzzle elevation step by step through practice. Sight-free aiming method: also known as sight-under aiming method, when aiming, the muzzle is not raised, and the eyes can't see the sight, only the sight can be seen. When shooting, the trajectory drops, and the hit point will be lower than the aiming point. Therefore, before striking, the target must be placed under the sight plate. This method is suitable for shooting fixed targets. 3, firing firing is the last step of aiming at shooting. When firing, your fingers should exert force evenly. At the moment of correct aiming, stop breathing and increase finger pressure until it seems to fire unconsciously. When firing, you should avoid consciously slamming the trigger, which will lead to gun escort due to excessive firing force, resulting in aiming error and affecting shooting accuracy. In a word, all aiming actions should remain the same when firing, and don't do any special actions except finger movements. In the process of hunting, we often have to shoot the prey that takes the initiative to attack. When shooting, you can only hit the target if you put the aiming point in front of the moving direction of the prey for a certain distance. This advance distance is the advance amount. The advance is mainly determined by the moving speed of the target, shooting distance, climatic conditions, the included angle between the target and the hunter's moving direction, the number of shotguns and other factors. In actual hunting, the mastery in advance can only be mastered by the accumulation of experience.
