**Midday at the Archery Range**
In the afternoon, a young man wearing a casual, thickened sports uniform appeared at the archery range. This was none other than Zhushi Jiu. By his side stood a beautiful, young female coach with a toned figure, her long, black hair tied in a ponytail. She wore a slightly transparent white short-sleeved shirt, revealing her arms, and exuded elegance in every move. When you got close to her, you could even smell the fragrance of her perfume.
She was Du Fei, the coach who would give Zhushi Jiu one-on-one lessons. Zhushi Jiu had just spent 5,000 yuan on a course and was considered a big spender for this newly opened archery range.
Coach Du asked, “Mr. Zhushi, do you have any experience with archery?”
“No,” Zhushi Jiu replied honestly.
Coach Du seemed unsurprised. “So, you don’t know much about archery, right?”
Many beginners who came to learn archery did so after watching a few videos online and thinking it looked cool. It was rare for someone to spend 5,000 yuan on a course like Zhushi Jiu did.
Coach Du explained, “Let me tell you about the different types of bows. We’ll teach you each type according to your course, but I recommend focusing on one type first. When you start learning archery, it’s better to choose one that interests you…”
Zhushi Jiu looked at Coach Du’s work badge, which read “2039 Jiang Province Recurve Archery Championship Winner.” Her name was Du Fei.
Du Fei stammered slightly.
You want me to introduce each type of bow, but what’s with your gaze, dude?
Coach Du continued, “As for the three types of bows, there’s no best one to learn. Each has its difficulties, and I think the compound bow is the easiest to learn. Most beginners choose the compound bow because it’s easy to get started with, and its power is greater than that of the recurve and traditional bows…”
Du Fei hesitated for a moment before saying, “But I don’t recommend learning the compound bow first, because once you get used to it, it’s hard to switch to other types of bows. It also requires learning how to adjust the bow, which takes time for newbies.”
“My suggestion is to start with the traditional bow, then move on to the recurve bow, and finally try the compound bow.”
Of the three types of bows, Zhushi Jiu only knew a bit about the compound bow, which indeed had greater power than the recurve and traditional bows. However, he thought about the speed of those black-clothed men…
“What’s the fastest bow to shoot?” Zhushi Jiu asked.
Coach Du replied, “If we’re talking about speed, the traditional and recurve bows are similar. The traditional bow might be a bit faster due to its power. But overall, I recommend the recurve bow, which has both power and speed.”
She guessed that Zhushi Jiu wanted a bow that was not only powerful but also easy to learn and fast to shoot. The recurve bow fit the bill.
Indeed, Zhushi Jiu didn’t hesitate and said, “Okay, let’s start with the recurve bow.”
“How many pounds do you want?” Coach Du asked.
Zhushi Jiu had no idea, so he humbly asked Coach Du to recommend.
Coach Du suggested trying a 24-pound recurve bow first. If it wasn’t suitable, they could switch later.
