Now that the bow body is almost done, it’s time to get the bowstring.

As mentioned before, the bow string cannot be made of elastic materials, which will affect the flight path of the bow and arrow.

So there is no need to use any rare materials, ropes made of plant fibers are enough.

Wang Yang drilled holes at both ends of the bow, then called the osteologist over, took the other end of the bow, stepped on the ground, turned his back and broke it into a small crescent, and then took the fine pieces he had prepared earlier.

Pass the string through and tie it into a knot.

A single bow is ready.

The bows he makes are classified under the category of recurve bows, which means the bow is strung backwards.

Another classification is the straight-draw bow, which requires more strength for each draw.

The recurve bow is a better version and the pull force is more even.

Wang Yang made this bow to save labor.

If you have a bow, you must have arrows.

The materials of the arrows are important, including arrow shafts, arrowheads, and arrow feathers.

Wang Yang doesn't know how to do it, so he won't say much.

He made a few wooden arrows by himself, which were just round rods with sharpened arrowheads.

Then he walked to the cave entrance and prepared to shoot one.

By this time, the snow had stopped, the cold wind was not strong, and the ground was white, making it easy to see where the arrow was going.

When everyone saw that he had finally finished it after working on it for so long, they couldn't help but stand next to him and look at him.

Wang Yang took a deep breath, stringed the arrow, pulled hard, stepped back, and immediately bent the bow angle. Facing the desolation on the ground, he raised his head to the sky at a 45-degree angle, coughed, and shot an arrow.

The moment he loosened the string, the arrow quickly flew high into the sky, flying twenty meters away in the blink of an eye. It was blown by the wind in the sky, flew higher, and fell to the right.

"Woooo~" Everyone exclaimed in surprise. For those who had never seen a bow and arrow before, it was difficult to imagine that a piece of wood and a rope could make an object fly out.

But I was just surprised and had no other thoughts.

"How crooked..." Wang Yang wiped his face, not feeling much disappointed about this funny result, but actually very happy.

After all, this is the first bow I have made by myself, so it should be small in power.

Judging from the performance just now, the power of the bow is pretty good, but the only difference lies in the arrows and my own skills. The arrows are too light and will deviate from the track when the breeze blows, and the wooden arrows do not have much power.

It is estimated that with this configuration, the killing range is only within twenty meters, which is just the right distance in the intricate forest.

However, considering the material of this wooden arrow and the performance of this bow, it is okay to shoot rabbits and the like, but it is impossible to shoot wild boars with thicker skin.

When everyone saw that he had finished cumming, they couldn't help but want to try something new. From the looks of them, they seemed to treat him as a toy.

Wang Yang handed the bow to them and looked on.

The driver tried first. He took the string and pulled it. He was surprised that it took a lot of effort to draw the bow. He tried several times before taking the arrow.

Wang Yang taught him to hold the arrow with two fingers and pull it back.

He drew the bow to full capacity in one go and wanted to pull harder. Wang Yang quickly shouted to him to suppress his momentum. If he pulled further, he could break the bow directly.

This is no joke. After all, it was two months of hard work. It would be a shame to waste it like this.

It is not difficult to draw this bow. What is difficult is to maintain the action of fully drawing the bow. When aiming at the prey, you still have to spend the same effort. Almost all recurve bows have this problem.

After adjusting his strength, he let it go.

The arrow points straight upward, but when the wind blows, it becomes crooked.

Others try one by one.

There were not many arrows, just a few. Wang Yangde went out to pick them up from time to time.

The power of the arrows was really not good, not one of them was nailed to the tree, they were all knocked to the ground.

When Wang Yang asked them to try it, he kept watching, fearing that they would damage it.

At the end of the day, everyone's enthusiasm was not so strong, and they finally stopped entangled. Except for a few children who still wanted to play, everyone else found it boring.

Wang Yang gave the bow to the expellers for safekeeping, and wondered whether he should mass-produce bows and arrows.

After thinking about it, I gave up the idea. After all, making a qualified bow would take too long and consume too much energy. I was almost exhausted.

It's difficult to ask them to help with the production, and the cumbersome processes behind it are enough to make them feel dizzy.

Moreover, too little power is a problem that must be considered. It can effectively kill within twenty meters and cannot even penetrate the skin of a wild boar. It is better to lay an ambush honestly.

Even with a large number of bows, accuracy and training are still open to question, these are problems.

Wang Yang thought about it for a long time and found that he still needed to be more cautious when it came to the bow issue. He should not hinder better development because of his temporary enthusiasm.
