Bandit Sharpshooter
Added 2024-09-12 13:56:38 +0000 UTCHello, guys! Figured we could use a female in this little Robin Hood's band. So here's your Sharpshooter! Can't go wrong with an Elf Ranger to shoot your shots from a distance, I mean that's literally how Tolkien did it, so I, as a DM, can totally do it too! Enjoy!

2024-09-13 07:04:02 +0000 UTCNice model, but as an archer of 15+ years, many of them coaching, I would discourage her from holding the arrow, unless running or shooting from horseback I would guess. You get a much cleaner release, and therefore greater accuracy, if the arrow is nocked onto the string and the draw hand touches only the string, not the arrow. Most movies seem to get this wrong. Also the arrow should be held just touching the face at the corner of the mouth, it's better to shoot with the non-dominant eye closed and it looks as though the arrow should be rotated 180° so that the two hen fletchings can clear the "window" of the bow without clipping the handle and being knocked out of line. Also ideally there should be a quiver on the left side of the waist belt for storing ready arrows. Many archers believe that the large quiver on the back is for carrying the bulk of your arrows, but I can confirm myself that it is not practical for most people to be able to quickly grab an arrow to shoot, and simple pouch-style belt quiver is more comfortable and easier to use.
