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.

I've never seen a bow like this been drawn
This just wouldn't work. The bowstring cannot go past the bow arc like this. The bow limbs have to bend back further so that the string is unhampered. Not like this, this would ruin the string very quickly, if it would work at all.
Also, a back quiver is a mistake.
On the other hand, I've stopped sanctioning left-handedness. Not because about five percent of all people are left-handed, no since the left-handed archer drawings outnumber the amount of real left-handers in any population by vast numbers. But instead because an excellent archer should know how to shoot with both right and left-handed. Does that sound fair to you?
And is this Avatar the Last Air Bender water people inspired by any chance?
