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.

Barely naked Amazon
Amazon warrior of course, immediately noticable by the lack of clothes. Since of course there would be a culture that is composed entirely of women but don't know how to make clothes! Those steel armour plates would be pretty painful on bare skin, but maybe the Amazons like pain?
Archery mistakes:
1. This bow is flat on the wrong dimension. It is flat on the sides when it should be flat on the back. Wouldn't work well like this, if at all.
2. Sideways shooting. Don't tell me she's just nocking the arrow, we all know that she's going to shoot sideways too since it looks "cooler".
3. Beginners often stick out their index finger like this. Some say it is useful to feel where the arrowtip is, but I find this explanation unsounded. Why would you need to feel the arrowtip, you already see and know where it is?
4. She has been given an archery glove with two fingers, only it's on the wrong hand.
5. Reverse grip.
6. Back quiver, on the wrong shoulder.
7. The struckture of this bow's siyahs makes it impossible for removing the bowstring. It should be removable since all bows are stored without their strings in place.
