Boy asked me why there are so few archers who can kill two birds with one stone now. How to answer is easy to understand?

If you want to play with bows and arrows thoroughly, you might as well listen to some ideas of bow and arrow hunters:

Beginners practice archery, so it's better to practice more when they are proficient.

Compared with traditional bow and arrow hunting, modern bow and arrow hunting has not changed much except for the improvement of equipment. Today's arrows are well-made, which can fly farther and wear deeper; The bow is stronger, but lighter.

At present, there are many skills in bow and arrow hunting, but first of all, we must be familiar with the basic steps through repeated practice: (1) put the arrow on the bow; (2) Pull the arrow in place; (3) Find a balance point and stabilize the bow and arrow with the strength of the body; (4) Keep posture and shoot arrows.

◎ ranging is patient, persistent and targeted.

Distance determines the way, strength and type of arrow used. Therefore, it is best to investigate the target hunting point and get familiar with the terrain before hunting. Bow and arrow hunters usually launch within 30 meters, although there are also examples of 60 meters and 70 meters long-range launch, but it is almost rare. The premise of doing this is to have greater patience and perseverance than gun hunters, and to have a deeper understanding of the law of prey activities.

◎ On-site angle aiming is random.

In most cases, bow and arrow hunting can be carried out in the following three ways: (1) ambush hunting: setting traps and waiting for the appearance of prey nearby; (2) Tracking hunting: After finding the target, slowly approach and wait for the right time to shoot; (3) Long-range search: use a telescope to search for prey, and then track and hunt after determining the target.

When hunting small prey with a compound bow with a certain height difference, you should learn to adjust the aiming angle appropriately: generally, when the shooter is in a low position and the prey is in a high position (within 45 degrees), aim at a high position. Take a 60 kg compound bow as an example. If you aim at a distance of 3 meters with a 30-meter aiming point on the flat ground, you should aim at a place about 5- 10 cm above the hit prey and vice versa.

◎ According to the purpose, choose the tension of bow and arrow.

At present, the compound bow is mainly used for hunting, and the maximum pulling force is generally at three levels: 60 kg, 70 kg and 80 kg. The compound bow with pulling force of 60-70 kg is the mainstream, because in the circle of bow and arrow hunting abroad, 60 kg is considered as the low pulling force limit for hunting large prey, while 70 kg is considered as the most suitable pulling force value for hunting large prey.

But in fact, the 60-pound compound bow already has amazing power. For example, a 60-pound composite bow with an IBO speed of about 300 feet per second can easily penetrate a dry pine board with a thickness of 2 cm at a distance of 20 meters. At present, the speed of IBO, the fastest compound bow in the world, has reached 350 feet per second. Of course, there are products with a maximum tensile force of 90 pounds or even 100 pounds, but most of them are products for dealing with large beasts, and there are not many applications.

◎ Adequate preparation in the early stage can keep you from getting cold feet.

Before going out for activities, you should carefully check your equipment and personal belongings, including bows and arrows, auxiliary appliances and logistical support; At the same time, check whether the bow and arrow are scattered. Can be used normally, and whether the selected arrow is suitable for the environment and prey of this activity, and whether the sight is accurate; Also check the auxiliary equipment, including rangefinder, telescope, communication equipment, etc.
