214 Archery Show (2)

"Alan Covington." The call for Covington came.

Covington nodded and picked up his compound bow.

The ambassadors stopped communicating at this and looked to the field.

Covington walked up to the shooting line and glanced over at a point in the distance, where the cantaloupe melon was. He pressed forward slightly, then brought up the compound bow and nocked his arrow.

The biggest advantage of compound bows over recurve bows was the difference in draw weights. Compound bows had higher draw weights and a higher draw weight could increase the power behind a shot allowing for a flatter arrow trajectory and less flight deviation.

Covington drew back his bowstring, adjusted his stance and then began to aim.

Tang Yan noticed that Covington wasn't even straining to see and was slightly surprised.

It seemed Covington had exceptional eyesight even for an archer.

Covington, holding his breath, finished aiming and fired. 

Twang!
