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.

More like Duplolas with these skills
I'm getting sick of these Legolas rip-offs! Straight to the mistakes:
1. This bow is ridiculous. Looks like the reference photo the draughtswoman has copied this from ended so that the lower limb of the bow was not shown. Tince it's drawn completely wrong, it's too short, too thick and doesn't bend.
2. The string stretches here, and the bow doesn't seem to be bending nearly enough for actually being a usable weapon.
3. What is this grip? Right, it isn't a grip, because he isn't gripping anything!?! Also the arrow either doesn't have fletching or it is very fluffy.
4. Back quiver. No.
