From a rational point of view, the top level of modern archery is not just higher than the ancient bow and arrow. First of all, say "a hundred paces" without commenting on the possibility of its real existence and literary exaggeration. Let's just say for the moment that it happened in history.
From an archery point of view, "scattershot (a skilled archer shooting at a fixed distance, flicking enough arrows that his arrows will be spread out in a circle)" determines the probability that you will hit this leaf. In fact, if we interpret this as a small probability event, it's not hard to explain; after all, the story doesn't say he shot three arrows in the center. As modern bow and arrow technology continues to improve, the best archers can reach a distance of 90 meters and control their walk in a 15 CM circle. At a distance of 135 meters (the old 100 paces), the probability of hitting a leaf should be about 10 percent.
Next, I said Ricoh shot the tiger without a rock. In fact, it was easier. Rocks come in different densities. The lowest density stone is actually no harder than wood. With a compound bow, the same number of bows can be combined with a pulley set to produce a greater force reduction ratio, and the intermediate power output draw curve can be achieved at the same poundage, its greater than the ancient single bow. Up. Thus, the kinetic energy of the shooting arrow will win first. Also, whether it can be injected into stone is directly related to the metal working technology of the arrowhead. This is the way I have studied modern matter physics for years, I can't beat the antiquity, I had to ditch the rivers for fish. So, in general, modern archery is more than a minute away with the help of ancient equipment technology.
Don't underestimate the ancient techniques of traditional bow making. Ancient people have long understood that the material of the bow determines the shape and performance. The specificity of materials in different regions also produces different traditional bow shapes. For example, the traditional bow of Nepal looks like two pieces of bamboo bundled together. Its performance is comparable to the Korean Songmu bow, which has been improved by modern technology. The bamboo is a type of mangosteen grown exclusively by hunters. After breeding, only a dozen meters of bamboo were collected. In a small portion, it will be used to make the bow after three years of carbonization.
