That bow should've been tillered


Straight to the mistakes:

1. This bow bends asymmetrically. There are asymmetric bows in real life, like the Japanese Yumi, but this is not like those. This is just a bad bow. The upper limb bends too much compared to the lower limb. This is a problem that is eliminated in tillering, a process of making the bow limbs bend the same amount, when makign the bow. This bow is already ruined, it cannot be fixed.

2. This arrowshaft is too thin, especially when compared to the large arrowtip is has.

3. Long fletching is perfectly okay an an arrow, but these extend too far back, between the fingers of the arrow hand.

4. Two finger Mediterranean grip with the spring held only with the very tip of the fingers. The fingers should curl up some more on the string, especially if there's just two. Not in a clenched fist of course, that's not what I said.

5. Back quiver
