Modern compound bow European women's 50-meter rapid fire champion Christine Josephine Habsburg-Lorraine has a total of seven bows. The specifications and materials are slightly different, but each one is used extremely skillfully. Each one has a name.

Two of the seven pictures were given to her by her boyfriend Zhuo Yang, including the 'Shawn Wellen' that she carried with her on this hiking trip. Sch?ne Wellen means 'beautiful ripples' in German.

The pale pink 'Sean Wellen' is the smallest of Koko's seven bows, except for the 15-inch wheelbase 'Morning Blossom' that she had when she was 10 years old. Only 22 inches, or 55.88 cm. Her largest one, the Sternenlicht Starlight, has a wheelbase of 46 inches and a total bow length of over 1.2 meters.

'Shaun Wellen' was bought by Zhuoyang in Milan last year and given to Kou Kou. It is a 'TRIAX Delta' from the United States. The bow frame alone cost more than 30,000 euros. The whole set of parts is complete, and it is 56,000 without any counter-offer. .

Although 'Shaun Waylon' is relatively compact, it is very powerful because of the short string distance. It requires 50 pounds of force to draw the bow. When the bow is fully drawn, it only needs 10 pounds to be ready because of the 80% labor saving ratio. 10 pounds is equivalent to about 9 pounds, which is no problem for Kou Kou. Her 'Stermenchi' bow is still 70 pounds. Of course, there are also hard bows with a draw weight of 300 pounds. Anyone who can use this is considered an animal among men. For example, Zhuo Yang's Fa Xiaojiushan uses a 300-pound special forces crossbow.

With a bow, of course, you need arrows. Zhuo Yang provided Kou Kou with the most expensive and best carbon aluminum arrows. A dozen of 12 arrow shafts cost about 300 euros, including 10 tungsten steel arrow clusters. 200 euros, and 140 euros for a dozen arrow fletchings, a single arrow is almost 500 yuan. This time, Kou Kou brought a full 60 bows, plus a bow that weighed a little more than 3 kilograms. The total was just over 10 kilograms. This was her entire weight while hiking.

Modern compound bows are legal all over the world and can be owned and carried by private individuals. Of course, they cannot be taken on a plane and must be checked in. Koko was not brought out for self-defense this time. The modern compound bow was her best sport, so diligent practice was necessary, and she could also go hunting by the way.

After half a month of walking, I picked up some arrows and shot them when I got interested. Some arrows always flew away without a trace in the high mountains and long roads. Today, there were only about 30 arrows left in the quiver, which made Kou Kou extremely distressed. . This also shows that when you have money, you will not think carefully. Others use expensive carbon-aluminum arrows for indoor training and competition. If you go out into the wild and use two euros a dozen fiberglass arrows, you are definitely considered rich.

But 30 arrows were enough to deal with three gangsters today, enough for Kou Kou to shoot them into three hedgehogs.

Although the men of the Kou Kou family were generally martial artists, they did not have any archery experts. The women were only known for their beauty. Kou Kou's archery talent was unbelievable. But it’s hard to say this. None of the ancestors of Lao Zhuo’s family played football.

When she suddenly met a thief on the road, Zhuo Yang said, "Koko, step back," and she ran back obediently, but it was definitely not a panic attack. After running 15 meters away, Kou Kou suppressed her nervousness and fear and quickly took out the bow and quiver from her backpack.

A modern compound bow with a 50-pound draw weight can project an astonishing 350 meters, but the effective range depends on the shooter's accuracy. As long as you aim accurately, you can shoot a person to death within 100 meters without any problem, and you can shoot a cow to death from 50 meters away. For a champion shooter like Kou Kou, the 15-meter mark refers to where to shoot. Aiming at the nose and hitting the mouth is considered embarrassing.

At the critical moment when Zhuoyang's life was hanging by a thread, Kou Kou finished drawing the bow and drew the arrow, and then relied on instinct to fly out of the air. The 75cm flying feather accurately hit the forearm of Huang Suit holding the knife.

.

"Back off!" Kou Kou shouted angrily.

The sudden arrow shocked all the enemies. Huang Suit screamed and held his arm. The 75-centimeter-long arrow shaft penetrated the flesh for 40 centimeters. There was no trace of blood on the sharp arrow cluster. The knife in the yellow suit fell to the ground. He bent down and screamed. He grabbed the arrow shaft with his left hand where it was buried in his arm. He wanted to pull it out but did not dare to touch it.

The men in black T-shirts and plaid jackets looked at Kou Kou in horror. They couldn't imagine that such a fairy-like woman would be so ruthless. Even if they had seen it, they still couldn't believe it.

For the person he loves most, an angel can turn into a devil in an instant, and Kou Kou does not hesitate.

Zhuo Yang was not stunned. He knew how powerful his wife's bow was, and he was sure that she would take action. During the previous fierce fight, she had to guard the road to prevent the gangsters from detouring behind her, not to cover Kou Kou's escape, but to protect her time and space for assembling the compound bow. After widening the distance, the armed Kou Kou was invincible except for firearms. Zhuo Yang knew that he was ashamed of himself.

Zhuoyang didn't stay still. He took advantage of the opportunity of being stunned by the black T-shirt that locked his arms. He suddenly raised his knees and legs and hit his broken arm that was pinned in the waistband of his trousers. With a heartbreaking scream, Zhuo Yang let go of his tactical stick and grabbed the wrist of the black T-shirt holding the knife with his backhand. He locked his throat with his left hand, shifted his feet wrongly, and threw the black T-shirt away with a pin over his shoulder. He went out and fell hard.

‘Zeng——’, the bowstring sounded softly again, ‘Whoosh——Puff! ’.

Plaid Jacket tried to sneak attack Zhuo Yang from behind, but as soon as he took a step, he triggered Kou Kou's second arrow. Kou Kou was extremely ruthless at this moment, aiming directly at the choked throat of Plaid Jacket.

Lian Jiazi's functional reaction saved Plaid Jacket's life. In his panic, he had no time to dodge, so he subconsciously turned his head to the side and swung his dagger in an attempt to block. Naturally, it was in vain. The arrow hit his shoulder socket, and the arrow pierced 30 centimeters out of his body. Under the huge inertia, the plaid jacket was thrown up high, and then fell back to the ground hard, sending up loose soil and flying into the air.

Kou Kou shot an arrow, and her right hand took out a new arrow branch from the quiver. By the time the plaid jacket fell back to the ground, she had already filled the bow with arrows again.

Zhuo Yang turned around and picked up the tactical stick from the ground, threw it forward and swung it into a round shape, then hit it on the Tianling cover of the plaid jacket, which was unable to resist. The plaid jacket immediately fell to the ground silently, not knowing whether it was alive or dead. Black-red blood quickly spread from his hair to the ground, like a flower from hell.

He hit the yellow suit again. The yellow suit dodged twice, but failed to dodge the third blow. He was also hit on the head and fell to the ground. A black flower also bloomed.

Only the black T-shirt that had been thrown over his shoulder was left. He struggled desperately to get up from the ground, and saw Zhuo Yang approaching with a steel rod. When his life was at stake, he ignored the severe pain of his broken arm and moved sideways. Take two steps to pick up the dagger that just dropped. As soon as his fingertips touched the handle of the knife, his palm was firmly nailed to the ground by Kou Kou's third arrow.

The black T-shirt watched desperately as Zhuo Yang walked up to him and raised the tactical stick in his hand high. He felt no pain, but a flower bloomed in front of his eyes as soon as it went dark.

Zhuo Yang picked up three daggers and threw them far into the broken stream on the side of the dense forest. Returning to Kou Kou, he dropped the stick in his hand and held her tightly in his arms.
