Description Important Notes:

I have no archery training; `jademacalla was kind enough to allow me to use his bow and give me some basic tips. Thus, these are probably not accurate references for a skilled archer. These photos were taken with a non-realistic approach to archery in mind; they are more geared to the magical and the fantasy. Please consider this when using them for reference.

Please refrain from making comments about the model's ability. I am already aware of the shortcomings of the technical aspects.

Funded through Kickstarter .



Big thanks to `jademacalla for the photography on these.

I think you can pose for archery better than Jennifer Lawrence. (She plays the main character in Hunger Games if you didn't know).

It looks so cool! And since I can't hold a bow right handed to save my life, it helps, since all my people seem to be right handed...and I have yet to find any left handed stock anywhere o.O

I think if you take any stock image a flip it horizontally, you will switch the model's hand.

Ooh, that's a good idea...and that doesn't break any rules then? (since you're suggesting it, I'd assume not but its best to check...)
