Perhaps it was because of her personality that she liked beautiful things, or perhaps because Isabel Walton's archery posture was not graceful and perfect, Jacob Wycliffe, Earl of Lancashire, whispered to Augustine beside him, "Sir, can you bring me a longbow and some arrows?" ”

Augustine glanced at the Count's friendly expression, nodded, and said, "Yes, Lord Lord. ”

As Isabel was engrossed in practicing her archery skills, she vaguely noticed a person on the empty archery stand on her right. When she put down her bow and arrows and looked sideways, she saw Jacob smiling at her.

When Jacob put an arrow on the bowstring, he said unhurriedly: "Lady Isabel, I admire your archery skills, have you learned them in continental Europe?" I mean, I almost forgot that today was your first time training in archery. ”

Isabel looked at the young man, who was very different from his actual age and his title and status, and said, "Your Excellency, you are right. So, now you're going to try your hand at archery with me? ”

The same can be said. But actually, I just wanted to show you how to make your archery posture look more beautiful. ”

"Thank you, Lord Lord."

"Lady Isabel, let the arrow fly off the bowstring and towards the target, ordinary people can do it. But what you have to remember is to keep your left wrist and right elbow in the same position as your shoulders at all times. Because only then will your posture be more beautiful and the arrows you shoot will hit the bullseye more accurately. ”

Jacob was seen holding the bow in his left hand, and his right hand was slowly pulling the bowstring backwards with his index, middle and ring fingers. Hold the tail of the arrow between your index and middle fingers and open the bow firmly to the cheek. Then, with a slight release of the three fingers of his right hand, an arrow shot out like lightning.

As Isabel Walton looked at the Earl of Lancashire's skilful archery pose, she suddenly remembered Jennifer Lawrence's character in the adventure action movie The Hunger Games. In particular, the heroine held an American-style hunting bow and made a posture of bending the bow and arrows, which left an indelible impression on her.

When the first part of the film was first released, Isabel was still studying at the town's high school. With the popularity of the film in the global film market, she also transferred her fascination with the heroine to the unique prop in the heroine's hand.

From the website, you can find a lot of information and materials about American hunting bows, and then learn about archery, an ancient hunting and warfare skill, and then get acquainted with the unique bows and arrows of other countries. She even found an American outdoor archery expert who was good at using an American hunting bow, and trained him in archery for a period of time in a nature reserve.

In more in-depth study, she slowly discovered that on the medieval battlefield before the appearance of hot weapons, the English longbow in her hand at this time can be said to be a sharp weapon enough to dominate the European battlefield.

The English longbow was sharp, but its flaws were obvious. In addition to years of training and practice, users must also have a strong physique, superb technology and coordination in all aspects to exert their true power. Therefore, under the influence of long-term pressure and special posture, the user's spine will be abnormally bent, and the bones will also be distorted.

Isabel said to herself, "Why can't I make an American hunting bow for myself?" It can not only meet the work requirements of the knight's squire, but also will not damage his own body. ”

"Take the existing materials for making the English longbow, combined with the characteristics of the modern American hunting bow, to create a longbow of your own!"

"But I've never tried to make an American hunting bow myself, so what should I do?"

"Well, why don't you draw a drawing of an American-style hunting bow first, and then find a craftsman who specializes in making bows and arrows, and pay him to make one?!"

The question came back to money, and Isabel's eyes began to flicker at the thought of money. Jacob looked at the arrow that hit the bull's-eye, and turned his face to Isabel with great satisfaction.

When he noticed a strange glint in the other's eyes, he thought that his archery posture had fascinated him. With a proud smile on his face, he said conceitedly, "Lady Isabel, you see, a soft posture and correct movements can easily make you shoot an arrow into the bull's-eye. ”

Thinking about the looting that was about to take place this Sunday, Isabel looked at Jacob and said, "Thank you for telling me this, Lord Lord. ”

"Well, do you want to try it?"

"Okay. However, I once practiced a technique of continuous shooting. I think that if an arrow can't hit the prey accurately, you can use a continuous shot method to increase its accuracy. ”

"Well, good idea. Ms. Isabel, I will be honored to see your demonstration. ”

Isabel nodded, picking up the quiver with a dozen arrows left and tying it to her back. Following the method taught to her by the Earl of Lancashire, she readjusted her position in the position where the ray started, and spread her breath evenly. Slowly stretching out his right hand and pulling out an arrow from his back, his eyes were fixed on the humanoid target in front of him......

While counting "1,2,3,4...... and replacing seconds with numbers, he quickly completed the whole set of archery actions of setting arrows, drawing bows, and aiming with both hands. Over the next minute, Isabel Walton fired 12 arrows with unflinching precision.

Augustine and Jacob, who were on the side, stared at Isabel, who was excellent in archery and skillful in her skills, and both of them could hardly believe what they were seeing. To them, Isabel seems to have become the legendary archer Robin Hood.

After Elobel had shot 12 arrows in one go, Jacob opened his eyes wide and said to Augustine beside him, "Sir, go and see the target, I want to know the result at once." ”

Augustine promised to immediately run to the humanoid target, looked carefully at the results of the hit, and then turned and ran back. In a tone of disbelief, he whispered to Jacob, "Your Excellency, seven of the twelve arrows fired by Lady Isabel hit the bull's-eye, and the other five hit around the bull's-eye. ”

After a few seconds of silence, Jacob said in surprise: "Lady Isabel, not only did you impress me with your looks, but your archery skills also taught me what true archery is." ”

After Jacob finished speaking, he immediately turned around and nodded at the valet who was not far away. The valet trotted forward and bowed slightly beside him, "Now I need you to find Sir Ralph at once, and tell him to send here every game he has caught today." ”

Shortly after the manservant left, Henry Fitzroy happily led a group of knights, servants, and a dozen hounds back from the hunting ground to Nottingham Castle with their prey. The first thing he did when he returned was to give him a sturdy boar that he had hunted today, to his knights' attendants.
