Chapter 177 Little Big Eagle, lowering the death claw
"Xiao Tao, come first, Xiaowen will be second, and Xiaowu will be third! Everyone lies down, and first one person will shoot five bullets to get a feel for it. Be careful not to touch the snow with the muzzle of the gun!”
The gun barrel has a firing life, so Yue Feng took people out to practice shooting today with a gun borrowed from the forest farm. He did not bring his own 56 and a half. come out.
The guns borrowed from the government are in vain if they are not used.
Following the order arranged by Yue Feng, the three brothers took turns lying on the shooting position piled up with snow. They aimed at the aspen tree that Yue Feng had shot before and started to pull the trigger.
Three people, each shot down with five bullets, the results can be described as horrific.
Xiao Tao, who screamed the loudest and most excitedly, only one of the five bullets hit the target, and the other four flew to Java without knowing it.
Xiaowen is better than Xiaotao. Three of the five bullets hit the target, and these three bullets that hit the target were all hit by the later rounds. Yue Feng thinks Xiaowen is relatively better, at least he is gradually getting used to it. After acquiring the firearm, the more you shoot, the better.
In contrast, among the three, the one with the best shooting performance was Xiaowu, who ranked last.
Out of five bullets, the first one hit the target. Although one subsequent shot missed the target, the final result was four out of five.
What particularly made Yue Feng think it had potential was that the last three bullets fired by this guy all hit the target, and the impact points were relatively concentrated.
After seeing the results of the three brothers, Yue Feng curled his lips and glanced at the three of them: "You are still saying that you can fuck me, but now it is a mule or a horse that comes out to run around, don't you know what everyone is capable of!" "
Xiao Tao had the worst grade. He scratched his head and was unwilling to accept the reality: "I clearly aimed just now! I aimed according to the method you said. Why can't I hit it accurately?"
"Aiming is crap! Just now, all your bullets hit the ground. After shooting, there are a lot of holes in the snow! The front sight and the rear sight are two points and one line. The extension line is the target. You just use the front sight. Aim at the target, the gun body is not flat!" Yue Feng said angrily.
"Uh, okay, I'll try again later!" Xiao Tao felt that he was wrong and stopped complaining.
"Brother Feng, what about me? I feel like I've found the trick to aiming. Can I fire a few more rounds?" Xiaowu said confidently.
Yue Feng: "Okay, then use the bridge clip to load the bullets, and each of us will take ten more rounds!
Let's talk about it first. You three brothers all start in the same way. Each of us will temporarily Give them a chance to practice with fifty rounds of ammunition first.
After the practice, whoever has the best score will get the position of the secondary attacker who goes up the mountain to get the second gun!"
< br>
There are fewer guns than people. It is impossible for everyone to have a gun. To put it in perspective, even if everyone can get a gun and go hunting together in the mountains, it is impossible to see the prey. Everyone shoots together. Hunting is a very serious matter. Things, teamwork, and every detail of using a gun may affect everyone's safety and the final harvest.
Most of the time, what is needed is not overflowing firepower, but to maximize the hunting of prey while ensuring the safety of everyone as much as possible.
From this perspective, a hunting team of four people has two 56-and-a-half guns that can fire ten times in a row, which is already a very strong firepower output. As long as the main attacker and the deputy attacker have the mental quality With excellent cooperation and tacit understanding, as long as there is a certain strategic buffer distance, even if they confront the tiger's claws head-on, they will not fall behind.
When Yue Feng said that the three of them would decide who would use the second gun based on the final results, Xiao Tao immediately became nervous.
In Xiao Tao's heart, he felt that his relationship with Yue Feng must be closer than that of Xiaowen and Xiaowu brothers. He thought that the second gun would be used by him, but he didn't expect Yue Feng to come. A fair competition.
It's not surprising that Yue Feng can't tell the difference between distance and distance. A gun is a powerful weapon. Hunting in the mountains is not just a game. Since a hunting team has been formed, he must be responsible for everyone.
"Brother, please teach me how to aim just now! I'm a little weak!"
Xiao Tao felt a little uncomfortable, but don't be awkward, listen. When the captain announced the rules, his first reaction was to ask Yue Feng for help and learn them carefully, instead of questioning Yue Feng's decision.
At this point, Yue Feng is still very satisfied with Xiao Tao's performance. His half-brother has a pure heart and acts openly and aboveboard, without any small-minded twists and turns.
Yue Feng once again explained to the three brothers the aiming details of how to align the front sight with the rear sight and extend the line to aim at the target position. Then he loaded the bullet again and continued to shoot ten rounds each.
With the previous experience and the second detailed explanation just now, the shooting results in the second round were significantly better than those in the first round. At the very least, most of the bullets were able to hit the target. Even Xiao Tao, who had the worst score, Six out of ten bullets hit the target.
The best scorer is still Xiaowu. This guy seems to have some talent in shooting. He hit nine out of ten shots, and the distribution of impact points is very concentrated.
After waiting for the barrels to cool down, the three brothers conducted the third, fourth, and fifth rounds of live-fire shooting training.
It is said that good marksmanship is fed by bullets, and this is true. In the subsequent rounds of shooting training, the target hitting rate and shooting accuracy have increased to a certain extent.
However, among the three, Xiaowu was still the most accurate shooter. In the last round of shooting, Xiaowu's impact point distribution was quite concentrated.
If there was a regular target paper, Yue Feng estimated that Xiaowu would have to have a minimum score of 80 after firing ten rounds of bullets. This score would be considered above average even in militia training.
Since the rules were mentioned before the test, Xiaotao and Xiaowen were convinced after losing. The position of the second gun and assistant attacker was given to Xiaowu. Now the pattern of the hunting team was temporarily fixed. Come down.
There are only a few bullets obtained from the forest farm for the time being, so this kind of shooting training cannot be carried out with high intensity and frequency for the time being. However, Yue Feng's training of team members is only temporarily limited. In the future, If the conditions are better, the four people's marksmanship will definitely be polished to above the average level. By then, no matter who is holding the gun, they will be able to stand alone.
The four brothers spent half the afternoon in the woods by the river. They stayed there until it was almost dark, and then they took their guns and went home.
In the next few days, the hunting team returned to its previous rhythm. When the weather was good, the hunting team members went out to hunt and fly eagles in the mountains. They had a day off every other day. The black wolf's dog face was scratched and he went home to find Wang Da. I had stitches on my head, so I didn’t take my dog hunting in the mountains in the past few days.
As for Yue Feng, he was getting tired during his childhood. He changed shifts with his father in the middle of the night, and went out in the morning to continue intensive training with the big black hawk. When it was approaching evening, he had to ride his bicycle into the city to deliver game. His life was so good. Tired but at ease. Just like that, on the seventh day after staying up late, the Little Eagle that started training was already in full condition.
The feathers all over the body are fluffy, and a pair of eagle eyes are full of murderous intent. The weight loss and the hair shafts that Yue Feng feeds every day make it feel hungry. It flies in the yard as an eagle, and even flies in the sky. A sparrow, this little eagle will look at it for a long time like a conditioned reflex, eager to try.
Seeing this scene, Yue Feng knew that the heat was almost over, so he made an appointment with Xiao Tao in the evening to go out as an eagle early the next morning.
This little big eagle weighs 1.9 kilograms and goes off the net. Yue Feng controlled the weight of the adult eagle at 1.55 kilograms. This weight is probably a little more than 80% fat.
Objectively speaking, the weight is slightly small, so it may be a little difficult to catch rabbits, but Yue Feng is more confident in the muscles and bones of this little big eagle, so he decided to wait until it becomes an eagle in actual combat, and then make corresponding adjustments based on the performance.
Early the next morning, after Yue Feng and Xiao Tao had breakfast, they carried the hawk out of the house early and went straight to the classic place for hawking in autumn, the small vegetable garden outside the village.
Recently, most of Yue Feng's energy has been on playing with the big black hawk, so it has been a long time since he used the hawk to catch rabbits in the vegetable garden. Only occasionally Xiao Tao will use the hawk to catch rabbits. A big iron-backed red eagle came over for a walk.
With the temperature getting lower and the snow getting thicker, the importance of a good terrain environment for overnighting in the wild has become more important. This has also led to a slight increase in the absolute density of hares in good places with suitable conditions.
So, Yue Feng is very confident that the eagle will be able to drive out the rabbits in the small vegetable garden today.
After a heavy snowfall, the fields are completely white at first glance. Only a few shrubs or straw piles on the ground can still have a touch of original color. Yue Feng is holding this small eagle, and Xiao Tao is holding a thin stick in his hand. As he walked, he tapped, and at the same time he looked around for rabbit footprints in the snow.
The snow shell is frozen hard, and the rabbit's footprints are not so obvious, but this method is better than wandering aimlessly.
No, Xiao Tao quickly discovered the rabbit’s fresh footprints.
"Brother, here, these footprints should have been left last night! Let's follow them!" Xiao Tao greeted and led Yue Feng to change direction.
This kind of hawking with mental preparation time is a method with a higher success rate of becoming an eagle. Yue Feng's mentality was very stable. He followed Xiao Tao with the hawk next to him and watched every move around him.
Xiao Tao followed the rabbit for about a few hundred meters, and soon found that the footprints in front of him were gone. Xiao Tao stopped, pointed to the ground towards Yue Feng, and made a preparation gesture.
As mentioned before, rabbit footprints are quite interesting, especially after leaving footprints in the snow, they like to jump a step before coming to the place where they lie down and hide. The approximate location is Lying on his stomach less than one meter away from the last footprints.
At this moment, this unlucky rabbit is lying on the ground, blending in with the surrounding weeds, snow, etc.
Yue Feng held the eagle and entered the preparation state. Xiao Tao immediately took the pole and knocked at the area where the rabbit was.
Whoosh! The rabbit couldn't squat anymore and immediately got up and ran away!
"Cat!" Yue Feng roared, and the little eagle in his hand immediately flew out.
The moment the eagle took action, Yue Feng was slightly startled. His first feeling was that this eagle was so fast.
The absolute speed of this little big eagle is even better than that of the big iron-backed red eagle at home. This is because it has been raised in a warehouse for several months and has not been able to stretch its muscles and move on the ground.
It immediately spotted the rabbit that jumped up from a few meters away and ran away in a hurry. It flew up from Yue Feng's hand and pursued it. It only took less than two breaths to catch up to the top of the rabbit's head.
The next second, a volley dived and smashed the pile, directly kicking the rabbit like a falcon hunting prey.
The running rabbit was disturbed by external forces and immediately lost its balance and fell to the ground. Before it could turn over, the little eagle fell down again and grabbed the rabbit's throat with its strong right paw.
Wow, wow, wow...
The rabbit's cry of despair rang out on the spot. The speed was super fast and the battle process was super short. Even Xiao Tao next to him felt his eyes were dazzled. , the eagle pinned the rabbit there.
Yue Feng saw clearly what was going on, and his anxious heart immediately relaxed.
Although this eagle is a few inches smaller in size, its catching ability is not inferior to the slow peach-tip eagle that I gave to Uncle Chen before and likes to put two flags.
Many hawks and raptors can do this attack method of swooping, accelerating, impacting and then subduing the prey, including harriers and pine nuts. However, there are still certain differences in the specific subsequent catching methods.
Take the big eagles of the Yue Feng family this fall as an example. The iron-backed red eagle is the slowest in catching rabbits. It lacks practical experience and relies on brute force to subdue its prey in the early stage. It only learns how to pinch the waist later. Hold your head and wait.
The slow peach tip has a typical hunting habit of smashing piles, but the position of its claws is also to land on the rabbit’s butt with the first claw, and then hold the head upside down.
On the other hand, today's Little Big Eagle, its grasping method is more vicious. The first one it swooped down to hit the pile was not to claw at the rabbit's butt, but to grab it in vain. Destroys the balance of the bunny run.
When the rabbit lost its balance and fell, the little eagle turned sideways and ran towards the rabbit's neck and trachea with its claws. The angle and method of attack were very cunning and vicious.
Regardless of whether it is a human being or an animal, the neck is the most vital part of the body. The arteries and trachea are all in this position. If an eagle grasps it tightly, the rabbit may die in less than half a minute.
Yue Feng had seen very few eagles with this kind of grasping method in his previous life. He only heard it from his grandfather, and it was called Death Claw.
This kind of hawk's work is somewhat similar to that of falcon raptors. It rarely leaves any survivors. If the hawk drives over a little slower, the rabbit may die.
