In Tokyo, I just want salted fish

Chapter 81 Archery, let nature take its course.

The cold Ogata Asaka's eyes were as sharp as the arrows she shot.

The strings under the sky are crisp and loud.

She is second only to Sohei Sugita in the Kyudo Club.

There is no mandatory training in the archery department on Friday, so this archery field located in a deserted corner of the campus is even more quiet.

"It should be normal for seniors to shoot once in a while, right?" Chitose Mayi, who was behind the group of people, said with a smile. She was observing and studying the physique and shooting styles of several seniors.

This is the suggestion Qing Youya gave her, but the minister was not present today.

Fuko Sakurai, who was right in front of her, put down her long bow, turned to her and said, "Although it's normal to miss the target, Uesugi-san's arrow has already flown onto the lawn."

Suhei Suhei looked straight ahead, nocking the arrow and vibrating the bowstring. The small grooves on the thumb of his right hand hooked the fully drawn bowstring: "Kowdo pays attention to momentum, and the accumulated strength is concealed. Uesugi's level has far surpassed that of beginners. The attitude of everyone who has begun to be an excellent shooter, such a degree of missing the target, has already explained the problem."

Putting another arrow in his hand, the target 28 meters away has already been planted with dozens of arrows.

"Shooting is like a gentleman, who misses the right goal and seeks everything in his own body."

Kai Uesugi saw the word "繁" hanging above the shooting target, and suddenly thought of this sentence, "It is indeed my problem."

Even without the blessing of the [Precise] attribute, with his basic skills, he shouldn't have shot such an outrageous arrow.

Sohei Sugita nodded slightly: "A direct shot must hit, mentality is very important."

There was only one arrow left in the quiver beside him, and his arm was a little tired, Uesugi Kai did not intend to continue shooting.

Every time you draw the bow, you need a lot of mental effort to deal with it.

Putting down the longbow, the thumb of his right hand felt very uncomfortable, and a stinging red mark was drawn.

"I'm still not used to the finger sticks of the archery department." He raised his hand and looked at the four finger sticks in his right hand.

Ogata Asaka, holding a bow with both hands, looked at the target in front of her eyes. The black hakama skirt made her look very elegant: "You need to tailor one, and it is difficult to show the best posture for a shooter without fingers. .”

"Yeah, it's really necessary," the beautiful Fuko Sakurai immediately echoed, "Once I get used to using it, I can't use other ones anymore."

"弽" in the world of archery usually refers to the outermost layer of deerskin glove worn on the right hand.

"弽" is an irreplaceable item for a bow practitioner.

This is where the idiom "irreplaceable" comes from in Japanese.

The initial speed of the arrow flying out is 216km/h, enough to shoot through an iron frying pan more than ten meters away.

If there is no suitable "弽", the fingers that draw the string too much will become extremely uncomfortable due to the strength of the bowstring, and the state after continuous bowing will definitely decline.

Therefore, a "hand" called "hand" is also called the life partner of the shooter.

The choice of "弽" is also particular.

"The position of the thumb and wrist", "the direction of the thumb", "the length and width of the ring finger, middle finger, and index finger", "the string nut for pulling the string".
These problems need to be noticed and corrected with your right hand.

The best is tailor-made.

That is, spending more money.

"Do I need to buy a pair?" Uesugi asked, actually wanting to save the money.

"Strongly recommend!" Fuko Sakurai said seriously, "If Uesugi-san needs it, I recommend Sugita-senpai's bow shop. It's very famous. It's in Chiyoda District. The bows and hand guards I use are in his house. Made to order."

Ka!

The sound of strings beside him continued, this is already the No. 60 arrow shot by Sohei Sugita today.

Sensing that Kai Uesugi was looking at him, Sohei Sugita turned his head to him and said, "Sugita bow tool, 1-16 Kandasutacho, Chiyoda-ku, Tokyo, if you really need it, you can come to me on weekends."

"Then thank you, senior."

Kai Uesugi doesn't know anything about choosing bow tools, but if he has the help and guidance of his seniors, it will be the best result so far.

Even if you think about it, you won't be cheated.

"It's nothing." Sugita Sohei replied.

"Sigh~ the seniors are going to buy their own bows." Chitose Zhenyi showed a disappointed expression on his face, looking at his hands, "I haven't shot an arrow now, isn't it very useless?"

"Haha~ Don't worry, we all came here like this," Fuko Sakurai had a natural smile in his eyes, as warm as the wind in spring, "I couldn't even draw the bowstring back then, actually As long as you persevere in archery, you don't need to work hard, you can have a good experience and archery skills, come on!"

Chitose Zhenyi looked at the long bow in her hand, still a little discouraged: "Every time I draw the bow, it wobbles, is it not strong enough?"

Kai Uesugi: "The top is long and the bottom is short. Pulling the bow string not only requires a certain amount of strength, but also requires the archer to balance the bow. You must control the amplitude of the bow and arrow when you pull the string. Pay attention to my movements."

While speaking, he took out the last arrow in the quiver.

"The first section - "Step on foot", pay attention to the angle of the footboard not to be too deep or too shallow. "

Uesugi Kai straightened his upper body and stepped his feet apart.

"Second section - "Construction", be careful not to twist your waist. "

While keeping his upper body still, he looked sideways at the shooting range.

"The third section - "preparing the bow", the smaller the hand, the better, and the ideal state is "huli". "

The string pillow at the thumb of the right hand hooks the bowstring, and the rest of the fingers are as close to the palm as possible, and the closed fingers are curled up innocently like a baby.

"In the fourth and fifth sections "lifting" and "drawing the bow", one must pay attention not to deviate the arrow, and the left and right forces of the bow must be equal. "

Kai Uesugi raised the longbow with both hands, paused when the bowstring was drawn halfway, and then pulled it to the full in one breath.

Breathe smoothly and steadily.

Chitose Mayi's eyes were shining brightly, she just felt that Uesugi-senpai was extraordinarily temperamental at this time.

Sohei Sugita, Fuko Sakurai, and Asaka Ogata also stopped to observe Uesugi Kai's shooting skills from their respective shooting positions.

"Meeting" and "leaving", the chest strings are tightly attached, the strength is fully utilized, and the breathing is kept steady. "

At this time, Uesugi Kai's full string posture is very close to the perfect ratio of the golden section.

Next second,
The arrow flew out from the string.

With a sound of "pong", it appeared directly above the target full of bamboo arrows, as naturally as if rain would fall from the sky.

"In the last section, "Remnant Heart", keep the whole body up, down, left, and right equal, and the qi combination is stable. "

After slowly putting down the longbow in his hand, Kai Uesugi looked behind and observed Chitose Zhenyi very seriously and said: "The above are the problems I encountered in training before, so I can give you a reference."

Some smooth movements made Sohei Sugita feel relieved, and he turned his head to Chitose Zhenyi and said: "What Uesugi showed is a very typical shooting experience. As long as these movements are completely digested, a part of (di) in the shot Arrows are not a problem at all."

Chitose Zhenyi's tone was helpless: "It feels so difficult."
