The purpose of this blog is to correct all the errors the popular media, movies, videogames and countless drawings depict relating to bows and archery.

Hello Mr. Elrondson
The face is Elrond (Hugo Weaving) from the Lord of the Rings movies. Everything else is imagination.
Mistakes:
1. Overarm bowstring, noooooooooooo! Don't do this ever again, pleeeeeease!
2. Reverse grip, no, nobody should do this either. Is he also gripping the bowstring with four fingers? As if he's never shot before.
3. Inflexible bow, this is a very bad mistake. Bows bend people, bows bend. Also, why is he pulling the string if he's not aiming at a target? Nobody does this, since it wastes energy unnecessary.
4. Back quiver. I'd rather not see this one again.
