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.

The new Tomb Raider cosplay
Nice Lara Croft cosplay, but the archery should use some work.
Mistakes:
1. This elbow (of her right arm) should point higher up and backwards from the arrowshaft, not to the ground like this.
2. This elbow should not be bent in like this, it will lead to the bowstring hitting the forearm. The bow arm doesn't need to be exactly straight, just a little bit bent.
3. Take the forefinger off from the top of the arrow. It will hurt in release.
4. Three fingers are enough for the Mediterranean draw, four in unnecessary and might hamper the shot.
5.This bow is crooked (the upper limb in this photo should turn right and not left), and I believe it's not a real bow, but just a cosplay prop.
Neutral:
The quiver is okay. It's ugly, but Lara is supposed to make it herself in the bushes or something. And it's more of a hip quiver than a back quiver, so that's something I like.
