The difficulty of the double-piece bow lies in how to fit the two bamboo pieces together perfectly, and the other steps are similar to those of the single-piece bow.
Mu Feng took a few more bamboo pieces, and taught Lihu, Mingguang, Baiya, and Hanshu to make bows with their own hands, and marked each of them for easy comparison.
There are a total of seven bows before and after, three of which were demonstrated by Mufeng himself, and four of which were made by four people.
Then he asked Mingguang to find fur and python skin, and use this time period to make protective gear.
He cut the fur to size according to Hanshu's body shape, sewed the fur into a cylindrical shape with bone needles, put it on Hanshu's left shoulder, and sewed an arm guard for him.
These are very simple, the hard part is guarding the fingers.
The finger guard is also called the release device. At the earliest, it was a jade or a wrench finger, and later it was directly changed to a leather finger guard.
It just so happened that he had python skin in his hand, which was smooth and tough, and it was the best material for finger guards.
What he intends to do is a three-finger guard like a glove.
The long tube is easy to make, just roll it into a tube and sew it up.
However, the finger guard is relatively thin, and it must fit with the finger, so that the accuracy will be higher when pulling the string and shooting arrows.
For Mufeng, it's okay to sew a pair of leather jackets with thick stitches and wide stitches, but it's a little troublesome if it's too fine to have dense stitches.
Fortunately, there is White Fang here. As Mu Feng requested, she took the python skin and circled around Han Shu's three fingers, made a mark, and sewed it stitch by stitch.
Finally, a long tube finger guard that the two of them completed together was completed.
Mu Feng asked Han Shu to wear this protective gear, holding the single-piece bow to familiarize himself with the posture and technique of drawing the bow and archery.
And he picked up the double piece he put down first and started to bend the bow.
These are all familiar to him and will be done soon.
He picked up the bow, weighed it, hooked the bowstring with his hand, and instinctively restrained his hand.
As soon as it was released, a "squeaky" vibrato suddenly sounded, which was obviously different from the "humming" of the single-piece bow.
"Yeah!" Mu Feng nodded, knowing in his heart: "Sure enough, the production of a double-piece bow is very difficult, and the elastic tremor of the bowstring is more than doubled."
He took a bamboo arrow and shot it at a tree about fifty meters away. "
With a "whoosh" sound, the bamboo arrow appeared on the tree trunk, the arrow sank more than two inches into the tree trunk, and the tail of the arrow trembled!
"Sure enough!" Mu Feng nodded, he deliberately controlled the strength, but the power was absolutely beyond expectations.
He handed it over to Han Shu, "Use the method I taught you just now, try it!"
Han Shu did as he did, but he was facing another tree, and when he shot an arrow, it also went straight into the trunk with a "swoosh"!
Not only that, the bamboo arrow actually snapped when the tail trembled!
"This..." Han Shu was embarrassed, "Great Chief..."
Mu Feng's eyes lit up, he waved his hands and asked with a smile, "Hanshu, what do you think of this bow?"
Han Shu thought for a while before scratching his head and said, "I don't think I've used my best yet."
After speaking, he looked at Mu Feng nervously, "Is it bad if the arrow is broken?"
"Of course not!" Mu Feng explained, "This means that the double-piece bow is still not suitable for you, maybe you need three bows, and you are also very strong, and the body of the arrow is strong.
I couldn't stand such a great force, and when it was blocked by a tree trunk, it broke! "
"What do you mean..." Han Shu asked carefully.
"This is a good thing!" Mu Feng laughed loudly, "It means that as long as you use a bow that suits you, you can break things that others can't break!"
After a while, Mufeng patted Hanshu's shoulder in a very elderly manner: "It seems that the tribe's first set of protective gear is right for you, you should familiarize yourself with this double bow first, and I will give it to you tomorrow. Make a three-piece hard bow!"
Han Shu was overjoyed and bent over to salute: "Thank you, Chief!"
Mu Feng waved his hand: "Okay, in addition to the bow, the arrow should also be improved. The black-skinned bamboo is very tough, but the hardness is not enough, it needs to be sharpened and roasted in the fire! Sharp!"
"Yes!" Several people responded in unison.
Mu Feng also began to make his own two bows.
Soon, six bows and arrows were ready.
Lihu and Mingguang's bowstrings were quite satisfactory, White Fang's bowstrings were a little loose, but Hanshu's bowstrings were obviously tight.
In general, the bows and arrows of Mufeng, Lihu and Mingguang can be used directly.
But White Fang's bowstring needs to be tightened, which has something to do with her own strength.
And the cold tree obviously needs a harder bow.
Several people tested the two bows they had made, and the speed and range were significantly different from the single-piece bow, and far surpassed the first single-piece bow made by Mufeng!
"Such a weapon!" Mingguang shouted in a deep voice, "With such a bow and arrow, our hunting will be easier!"
Li Hu also shouted excitedly: "Even if the Manglong Division comes again, they must come and go!"
However, White Fang asked worriedly, "But what if Maduo from the Blue Bird Department also comes back and learns the double bow?"
Mu Feng shook his head and smiled and said, "How is it possible? It was a special situation before. Now that we have food and fur, I won't teach her any more."
"But she said she will come again?" White Fang frowned, his big eyes flashing, although he was full of worry, he was very cute.
Mu Feng smiled lightly: "It's okay, if she really comes again, I have something else to exchange with her!"
"What can we have?" White Fang wondered.
Mu Feng pointed to the pottery that was drying in the shade: "These things, we won't teach weapons in the future, so that safety is guaranteed. Exchange these pottery with them!"
After a pause, he grinned again and said, "Such core technology is always in our own hands!"
"What's so good about pottery?" White Fang pouted and muttered, "It's so thin, it rots when you drop it!"
Mu Feng laughed dumbly: "You'll know when it's done!"
