Compound bow strength or traditional bow strength

If it is in the battlefield of ancient China, it is not very useful. In the era of cold weapons, we heard more about crossbowmen than archers. For an army, even if archers and crossbowmen have their own people, they will be prepared at the same time in the army and deployed step by step. Some advantages of modern compound bows overlap with crossbows, which are relatively more accurate and slower than ancient bows. However, the slow firing rate and the lack of optimization of projectiles meant sacrificing the ground attack characteristics of ancient Gong Bing.

So it may be a chicken rib in the field. However, the value of modern compound bow is far greater than that of field battle, whether it is guarding the city or attacking the city. Good accuracy and unsatisfactory firing rate within tens of meters seem to be more suitable for this scene.

Regardless of production and maintenance, the composite bow is actually quite suitable for making war bows. In fact, this thing is not easy to break. It seems that there are many parts, but it is a modern mechanical structure after all. If you don't knock on the ground, only one bowstring is consumable. Normal use of other parts is definitely much more durable than traditional bows.

First of all, even on the battlefield, accuracy is extremely important. In this modern industrial level, a well-behaved arrow is less than 20 yuan, so it is no problem to save some food for a day, not to mention the ancients. Shooters basically shoot gold with gold. You said you couldn't shoot correctly, so shoot casually. Is it possible?

Secondly, motivation, this thing is of little significance. If necessary, the power of the specially designed composite bow must be much greater than that of the ancient bow, but it should not change qualitatively, right? I don't know much about this piece. Third, the labor-saving ratio, the strength that needs to be maintained after the composite bow is pulled out will plummet. The traditional bow is particularly heavy and needs great strength to maintain after being pulled out. The labor-saving ratio can completely improve the shooter's total output.

Finally, the real advantage of the compound bow should be the sight system, similar to crossbows and firearms, which shortens the training time of the traditional bow by more than ten times. Recruits and shooters only need to practice their back muscle strength to form quickly. Well, that's the end of the article. See you next time.
