Lin Chengshi's marksmanship

"Ding Ding Ding!"

The incoming call interrupted Lin Chengshi's process of surfing the forum: "Moses Moses."

"Mr. Lin, hello. This is Champion Shooting Club. I'm calling to inform you that your annual card in our club will expire in one week."

"I see."

Lin Chengshi hung up the phone, and all the thoughts that filled his head were completely forgotten by this interruption.

Salem has already become a sharpshooter by the will of the universe, so Lin Chengshi doesn't need to practice a lot in the real world anymore.If it wasn't for this call, he would have almost forgotten about applying for the annual card.

Shooting is his hobby, and he used to go to a shooting club about once a week or two.

After receiving this call, Lin Chengshi realized that it might be because he was too happy to be a sharpshooter in his dream, and he hadn't touched a gun in reality for a long time.

Why don't you go again today.

Looking at the bright sunshine outside, Lin Chengshi picked up the backpack containing the shooting equipment and walked out the door.

He casually ate some breakfast at the convenience store downstairs, and walked to the bus stop to wait for the bus.

The shooting club he often goes to is not far from his home, just a few bus stops away.

It is a club with professional equipment for professional shooters, and sometimes hosts some small events.For an amateur like Lin Chengshi to use it, it is simply an anti-aircraft gun to kill mosquitoes.

The guy named Lin Chengshi seems to be careless and careless in life, but he shows his young master's temper in some places.

Once he's serious about running a hobby, he chooses the best venues and equipment, regardless of talent level.

Almost as soon as he entered the club, Lin Chengshi regretted it.

He usually comes to practice on weekdays, and has never been here on weekends. He did not expect that there would be so many people on Sundays.

Many of them seem to be middle and primary school students who come to train on weekends.

He backed off a little, but then he thought about the heat wave outside, and he really didn't want to wait for the bus under the scorching sun.It's not easy to take a taxi here...

Forget it, let's blow the air conditioner in the venue first.

"Welcome, Mr. Lin." The sister at the front desk already knew Lin Chengshi.

He didn't need to be guided, he went to the locker room to change his clothes with ease, and walked into the practice field.

Lin Chengshi is going to play with the 10-meter air pistol first.

This project is the basis of all shooting events, and almost all beginners start with it, and Lin Chengshi is no exception.

Back then, Lin Chengshi, who was still a primary school student, felt that the gun in the movie was very handsome, so he proposed to learn how to shoot a gun.

This seems to be an unhealthy idea. If it were another parent, they would definitely have to educate their children severely to change their children's thinking.

And Lin Chengshi's father is very witty. Instead of simply and rudely criticizing the child, he secretly changed the concept and tricked him into learning sports shooting.

No matter how handsome it looks to outsiders, as long as it is competitive sports, the training behind it is extremely boring.

At first, the coach asked Lin Chengshi to do basic exercises.Let Lin Chengshi repeat the practice of raising the gun-aim-shoot-hold-down every day.

After the infinite loop of this process, the coach quit before Lin Chengshi protested.

Because unfortunately, Lin Chengshi's talent in shooting is very ordinary, and he can't even do the most basic thing of holding the gun without shaking.

As soon as he picked up the gun, his arm circled back and forth as if drawing a watermelon.The coach tactfully told Father Lin that this child might not be suitable for this path.

Father Lin was very calm, and told the coach: "It's okay, I don't expect him to make a name for himself, just try to train him as much as possible."

Anyway, there is no shortage of money, so the coach will use the money to do things.

Needless to say, with a series of physical training, it may be that the relevant muscles have been exercised, Lin Chengshi has made some progress, at least the bullets will not fly to other people's targets.

It's just that people's physical talents have limits.If the ceiling is too low, no matter how much effort you put in, it is impossible to change your fate against the sky.

Therefore, even if he has completed all the training given by the coach, he is "the most persevering kid I have ever seen" in the coach's mouth.His shooting level still hasn't improved much, and he can't even pass the qualifiers in amateur competitions.

For Lin Chengshi, shooting can only become a niche hobby and a way of exercising.

There are indeed a lot of people in the venue.The track that Lin Chengshi used to use was already occupied, so he could only choose another track that was empty.

The 10m air pistol uses electronic targets.In the official competition, players will shoot 70 rounds in 60 minutes, and the total score will be calculated by adding up the rings of each round.In the final round, another 10 rounds are fired.

After a simple warm-up, Lin Chengshi picked up the pistol and turned it upside down, then aimed at the target.

He wanted to find the feel first.

Contrary to what many people imagine, the targets of competitive shooting are very small.

The caliber of the pistol is 4.5 mm, the target diameter is 155.5 mm, and the diameter of the 10 ring is only 11.5 mm, which is smaller than a fingernail.

Standing ten meters away, the target becomes a dot, and you can hardly see anything.Shooting depends not on vision, but on muscle memory and psychological resilience.

With his left hand in his pocket, Lin Chengshi slowly raised his right hand holding the gun.

Having not practiced for a long time and neglected to exercise, Lin Chengshi thought that his technical movements would be deformed.

But unlike what he had expected, his hand was very steady.

That annoying shaking is gone.

There was still little muscle in his arms, and holding the gun still fatigued him.

However, his hands were terrifyingly steady.

Moreover, when Lin Chengshi looked forward, his eyesight did not improve.

He couldn't see the details ten meters away.But very strangely, he felt that he could "see" the target.

At this time, Lin Chengshi had a kind of self-confidence that he didn't know where he came from. He felt that if he shot now, he would definitely be able to hit the tenth ring.

So he fired a shot along this mentality.

The electronic screen in front of him showed his score, 10.1.

Lin Chengshi's heart beat heavily.He put down his gun almost immediately and looked around.

Although there are many people in the gym, they all focus on their own training. There are also a few coaches leading the students, and no one cares about other people's results.

The score of 10.1 ring is not very surreal, many athletes who have received professional training can play it.

But Lin Chengshi is well aware of his own situation, he is not a player who can hit 10 rings at all.

In order to understand the current situation, Lin Chengshi raised his pistol and started shooting again.

10.3 rings, 10.2 rings, 10.5 rings, 10.1 rings, 10.4 rings, 10.7 rings.

He turned into a robot that ruthlessly produced 10 rings.

Raising the gun again, a vague number, "10.9", suddenly flashed in Lin Chengshi's mind at the moment before shooting.

10.9 ring.

The cold electronic screen displayed this value without sadness or joy.
