Can the top level of ancient archery be comparable to that of modern times?

From a rational point of view, the top level of modern archery is not only higher than that of ancient bows and arrows. First of all, it is said that "a hundred paces penetrate Yang", without commenting on its real existence and the possibility of literary exaggeration. This happened to us temporarily in history.

From the perspective of archery, "dispersion (a skilled shooter shoots at a fixed distance and shoots enough arrows, and his arrows will be distributed in a circle)" determines the probability of you hitting this leaf. In fact, if this is understood as a small probability event, it is not difficult to explain. After all, the story didn't say that he shot three arrows in the middle. With the continuous improvement of modern bow and arrow technology, the best shooter can reach a distance of 90 meters and walk a circle 15CM. At the distance of 135 meters (ancient hundred paces), the probability of hitting the leaves should be about 10%.

Next, I said Ricoh shoots tigers without stones. It's actually simpler. Stones have different densities. The stone with the lowest density is actually not harder than wood. Using compound bow, the same number of bows and pulley combinations can produce a larger force reduction ratio, while the same number of pounds can achieve an intermediate power output tension curve, which is larger than the ancient single bow. Let's go So the kinetic energy of archery will win first. In addition, whether the stone can be injected is directly related to the metal processing technology of the arrow. This is my method of studying modern physics for many years. I can't beat antiques. I have to abandon the river to raise fish. So generally speaking, modern archery takes more than one minute with the help of ancient instruments and techniques.

Don't underestimate the ancient traditional bow-making skills. The ancients have long understood that the material of the bow determines its shape and performance. The particularity of materials in different regions will also produce different traditional bows. For example, the traditional bow in Nepal looks like two bamboos tied together. Its performance is comparable to that of North Korea's Wu Song Bow, which has been improved by modern technology. Bamboo is a kind of mangosteen specially planted by hunters. Only a dozen meters of bamboo were collected after breeding. A small part will be used to make bows after three years of carbonization.
