Chapter 452: Chapter Four Hundred and Forty-Nine: Wow, A Hero!

Thanks to his experience in Africa, Gao Yang was as familiar with using a bow and arrow as one could get. However, the bows and arrows he had used were all small, with limited power and accuracy. His method involved ambushing or quietly approaching his prey before shooting at close range. Thus, Gao Yang had no problem with archery, but he couldn't guarantee his accuracy over long distances.

For reconnaissance, a long shooting range wasn't necessary. Quietly closing in was the key, so Gao Yang had Ivan buy him a recreational recurve bow, along with several dozen target arrows.

Generally speaking, recurve bows are more accurate than compound bows. In modern archery competitions, recurve bows are predominantly used. Since it would be used at close range, Gao Yang wanted an entry-level precision recurve bow with only thirty pounds of draw weight. He opted out of any accessories, keeping just the bare bow.
