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.

This looks like a drawing of my friend who likes to draw clichéd black-clothed raghead characters (his wording, not mine!) that look like himself. But this is somebody elses drawing entirely. To the point: mistakes!
1. Is this arrow solid steel? That's a bad idea, an arrow has to bend around the bow arc in order to fly well.
2. This longbow doesn't seem to bend enough. Also why is a Middle-Eastern / Indian inspired archer using a Western European type longbow? Usually we always see recurve bows nowadays, because people think they look cooler, but this would be the time to use it!
3. Four finger grip, instead of three, or any other proper grip.
4. These flethings are terrible, they also cover the nock of the arrow which is really bad.
5. Back quiver, and on the wrong shoulder.
