At noon, at the gate of an archery hall.
It was just time for the archery hall to open in the afternoon, and a young man wearing casual thick sportswear appeared in the archery hall.
The person who came was Zhu Shijiu.
Standing next to Zhu Shijiu was a young, beautiful female coach with a curvy figure.
The woman had long black hair in a ponytail that hung behind her head. She wore a slightly transparent white short-sleeved shirt, with her slightly muscular arms exposed to the air. Her every move was elegant, and when you approached her, you could smell some brand of perfume.

She was very pretty and came to give him private tutoring because Zhu Shijiu had just topped up 5,000 yuan and spent almost all of the money on a course.
He is indeed a big sponsor for this newly opened archery hall.
The female coach asked, "Mr. Zhu, do you usually play with bows and arrows?"
"No." Zhu Shijiu answered honestly.
"So it seems you don't know much about bows and arrows?"
The female coach seemed to be used to it. Many newbies who first came into contact with archery watched a few videos online and thought they looked cool, so they came to try it out. However, it was rare to see someone like Zhu Shijiu who would spend 5,000 yuan to sign up for a course without hesitation.
"Why don't I first explain to you the different types of bows and arrows. It depends on what type of bow and arrow you want to use. Generally speaking, we will teach every type of bow and arrow according to the course you sign up for. But when you play with bows and arrows in your daily life, I suggest you choose a focus. When you first start learning the bow, you can learn the one you are more interested in..."
Zhu Shijiu then looked down at the work ID hanging on the female coach's chest. The honor column read "2039 Jiangxi Province Recurve Archery Competition Champion" and the name was Du Fei.
Du Fei was stuck for a moment.
I said I would first learn the type of bow that I'm interested in. Why are you looking at my chest

Zhu Shijiu was not interested in listening to her introduction to the origin history of each type of bow and arrow. He was more concerned about the level of this coach.
He asked, "Have you ever won a provincial championship in archery?"
Du Fei nodded. "I won the provincial championship when I was in school, which is a great honor. Although I used a recurve bow in the competition, I am also good at compound bows and traditional bows. I can teach them."
"Which of these three bows is easier to learn?"
"It's not easy to learn bow and arrow. Each type of bow has its own difficulties. I can only say that different types of bows are suitable for different people. I personally think that compound bows are the easiest to learn. Generally, beginners will choose compound bows because they are easy to use and more powerful than recurve bows and traditional bows..."
Du Fei hesitated for a while and said in a serious and responsible manner.
“… But I don’t recommend learning a compound bow first, because once you get the hang of a compound bow, it’s hard to get the hang of other bows. Secondly, you need to learn how to adjust the compound bow, and it takes a while for a novice to get the hang of it.”
"My advice is to try out a traditional bow first to get a feel for it, then take lessons on a recurve bow, and finally a compound bow."
Of these three types of bows, the only one Zhu Shijiu knew a little about was the compound bow, which was indeed more powerful than the recurve bow and the traditional bow, but... he thought of the cheetah-like speed of those men in black, so power was not the first option he needed to consider.
So Zhu Shijiu asked, "Which bow has the fastest shooting speed?"
口口五六③⑦四三六七五
Shooting speed and arrow speed are two concepts, which refer to the process from nocking the arrow to shooting.
Compound bows have no concept of shooting speed at all. Accuracy is the only requirement, so they are ruled out.
Du Fei guessed Zhu Shijiu's preference and said, "If we only talk about the shooting speed, the traditional bow and the recurve bow are about the same. The traditional bow may have a faster shooting speed due to its limited power. But overall, I personally recommend the recurve bow, which has great power and can also guarantee a good shooting speed."
She could figure out that Zhu Shijiu wanted to play with a bow that was powerful, easy to learn, and capable of rapid shooting.
A recurve bow would be perfect.
Sure enough, Zhu Shijiu did not reject it, but said: "Okay, let's learn the recurve bow first. I want to try it."
"Mr. Zhu, how many pounds do you want?"
Zhu Shijiu had no relevant knowledge about this and said modestly: "Just recommend it."
"Then try the 24-pound one first. If it doesn't fit, then change it."
Du Fei picked out a 24-pound recurve bow and gave it to Zhu Shijiu. He did not start talking about the knowledge points in a long-winded manner. Those coaches who liked to be strict would be eliminated if they did not have a certain level of skills.

It is not the teaching method of the older generation of taking apprentices. The relationship between archery hall coaches and students should still be based on the students' feelings.
Letting students explore and take the first step on their own is also a good start. Often, only when students encounter difficulties in the first step can the significance of the coach’s presence be reflected.
Zhu Shijiu felt a little curious when he touched a bow for the first time.
"Let's try the 10-meter target first."
Du Fei said this and was about to take Zhu Shijiu to the 10-meter area.
But Zhu Shijiu shook his head: "Let's start from 20 meters."
Directly 20 meters
Du Fei thought this guy was really arrogant, or should I say "ignorant"? Although 20 meters sounds short, when you actually stand in the archery area, you will find that 20 meters is really far. If a novice chooses 20 meters when just starting archery, he will definitely miss the target.
Du Fei did not stop him, but took Zhu Shijiu to the 20-meter archery area without saying a word.
Looking at the handle in the distance, Zhu Shijiu imagined the distance.

At this distance, he should be able to avoid the stunners and gunshots, and at the same time, he can effectively counterattack. He doesn't need to learn to shoot at closer targets, nor does he need to consider high accuracy. He only needs to consider how to shoot the arrow steadily, and the rest is up to fate.
What's more, there will be plenty of opportunities for him to practice in combat, and I don't know how many times he will have to go back to the past.
As he was thinking, he clumsily put the arrow on, and only then did Zhu Shijiu realize the difficulty of archery for a novice.
This was a completely new experience. Not to mention the posture and stuff, he couldn't even master the basic bow drawing, and his movements were so crooked.
Zhu Shijiu failed to shoot the first arrow, but he did not feel ashamed. Instead, he turned to look at Du Fei.
This is when the role of the coach comes into play.
Du Fei demonstrated it herself, using a very standard and beautiful posture to draw the bow and shoot the arrow... Whoosh! She didn't even aim, but the arrow made a slight sound of breaking through the air and hit the target, hitting the target with a nine-ring.
She whistled and looked extremely relaxed.
"Clap, clap, clap." Zhu Shijiu clapped.
Du Fei turned around and handed the bow and arrow to Zhu Shijiu: "There's no need to be so anxious. The course takes a long time. It's better to get familiar with the ten meters first and then challenge the twenty meters."

Zhu Shijiu shook his head.
He came to learn archery not just for accuracy.
He mainly wanted to grasp the distance well. He had to practice thousands of times to force himself to remember how far 20 meters was, so that when he faced the group of men in black, he would be able to fight. The 10-meter target would only interfere with his sense of distance.
Du Fei felt that Zhu Shijiu made the same mistake many newbies made, which was to aim too high. But she just frowned slightly and did not continue to persuade him.
Never mind, just follow the boss's wishes.
She asked Zhu Shijiu to draw the bow once again. This time, she did not just stand by and watch without saying anything. Instead, she began to seriously instruct Zhu Shijiu on the problems he encountered when drawing the bow and how to improve them. She even corrected him twice.
So, under such careful guidance, Zhu Shijiu shot the first arrow.
… Well, that was predictably off target.
Du Fei tried hard not to show any strange expression, and Zhu Shijiu did not feel embarrassed, but continued to draw arrows and shoot.
Many girls can handle a 24-pound bow. As an adult male college student, Zhu Shijiu is better than girls in terms of physical strength and endurance. He didn't feel tired even after shooting all ten arrows in the quiver.
Du Fei walked over and took a look at the target. After a long while, he finally said tactfully, "Well... Mr. Zhu, you have good physical strength."
Zhu Shijiu: “…”
All ten arrows missed the target, and Du Fei couldn't find the words to compliment him even if he wanted to.
However, considering that Zhu Shijiu is a novice, it is not good to be too demanding. However, she just discovered a problem while watching.
"Mr. Zhu, why don't you aim when you shoot arrows?" What she didn't say was that if she could take the time to aim, she might at least be able to hit the target.
"Oh, I don't like aiming." Zhu Shijiu said casually.
Du Fei: “…” It’s really weird. She has been shooting arrows for so many years, but this is the first time she has met an archery enthusiast who doesn’t shoot for accuracy. Could it be that this person plays archery just for the pleasure of shooting the arrow
Zhu Shijiu asked, "Is there a bow with more power? I feel like the arrow speed of this poundage is too slow, and it's easy to be dodged once it's shot."

Du Fei wondered, "Mr. Zhu, are you going hunting?"

Zhu Shijiu calmly replied: "Yes, I learned archery for hunting."
Although the animals being hunted are not wild animals, but humans.
Du Fei suddenly realized why he prioritized shooting speed over accuracy, because prey would flee, and in actual combat he really couldn't aim as slowly as he did in indoor training. It's not that accuracy is not important, but shooting fast is more important than shooting accurately.
Du Fei is a traditional indoor competition person. Although he has heard of some hunter clubs in the country, he has never had any interaction with them.
"Mr. Zhu, please try a 32-pound bow. I think a bow with this poundage is just right. Anything above that is not very suitable for rapid shooting."
As soon as he took it, Zhu Shijiu found an obvious difference. The 32-pound bow was heavier than the 24-pound one. The difference was even more obvious when he pulled the bow - Zhu Shijiu's movements were deformed.
"Mr. Zhu, when you raise the bow, lower your front shoulder and keep your shoulders down..."
Du Fei taught very seriously, perhaps because this was her first job, or perhaps because Zhu Shijiu was really humble and eager to learn, so the two of them were willing to teach and learn at the same time. In just one afternoon, she came to her senses and realized that she had taught a lot of things beyond the course.
Except for going out for a meal in the afternoon, the young man stayed in the archery hall from the afternoon until ten o'clock in the evening, when the hall was about to close.
This look of absorbing knowledge like a sponge reminded Du Fei of his own enthusiasm when he was learning archery.
