Fantasy 17th century female gladiator ranger?

I've never seen anybody standing like that. Not even in the gentlemen's club we visited in Portugal at the start of the summer. That would've been the place I would've expected to see women standing like that, but they didn't. Maybe the draughtsman of this picture hasn't been in a gentlemen's club. I would recommend going into one. But not a one in Jyväskylä, that was not so great told my friend who lived there (in the small city in Finland, not in the club of course).

By the way, why has this woman covered her forehead, right shoulder and boob, and her left hand in armour, but not anything else? Having thick steel gauntlets is not beneficial to archery by any means. And that metallic peaked cap is seriously interfering with vision it seems. Vision is quite crucial in archery, just saying...

Anyway, to the mistakes:

1. This bow is in the category "so ugly it couldn't be recognised as a bow if it wouldn't be held like that by a person."
2. This huge space is called a fistmele. And it shouldn't be this huge. It should be about one's fist and up pointing thumb distance, not much more.
3. Where are her arrows and quiver? They are nowhere to be seen.

P.S.
Those 17th century men's cavalry boots didn't actually have stilettos on them even though they did have heels.
