Shes hot but her form is so bad
That string is gonna slap her elbow
And hit jack shit because her arrow is super not straight in relation with her eyes ( for aiming )
... Still an awesome picture though. I just shiver to imagine they let her do it AND let her do it so badly lol
Looking along the arrow for a traditional recurve is a good way to miss, there's generally nothing to line up unless you fit a sight to the bow. It's all by feel
Euh, what. Ye, no. I do archery with a recurve, no attachments or anything. Left eye is dominant, so right hand holds the bow, arrow is on the left side of the bow and left hand pulls back. Left hand under my chin. Arrow is a straight line from left eye to bow and to the target down the range.
If you have an indentation in the grip like i do, then its straight. If you dont then yes its slightly off, but thats practice and even then its pretty straight if you hold it right...
The 50s were a wild time
Is she pulling the bow with her hip?
