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.

They can't make Lara dirtier than this!
Two picture of the new Lara Croft, with more dirt on her body, but smaller boobs than before.
In neither of these pictures you can see the bow, which is probably the stupid bunch of rods as in the new game. Let's not talk about that now, since it doesn't show here.
In the first picture Lara is pulling the bow even though she is not aiming (=shooting) at anything. People think it looks cooler than to just have the bow in hand, so they ofter draw archers do this, and even promo pictures for movies are taken like this even though it's completely stupid and unnecessary. Pulling the bow requires quite a lot of strength, and doing it for the coolness without actually an intent to shoot is not good. It's a waste of your energy. Nobody does that in real life. Lara here is also using just two fingers for the Mediterranean grip, although she should use three. The fletching of the arrow is too small.
In the second picture Lara has a different arrow, with proper long fletching and a shaft that is as thick as a finger. That is a heavy war arrow, I don't know where she got that one. The bowstring however goes to a completely wrong directions. It could be possible if she would be using a very short recorve bow, such as what Mongolians sometimes used, but I know she's having the bunch-of-rods-bow which is the size of a longbow. Thus the string is drawn utterly wrong. I gave more realistic position for it in red.
