Is this a practical way of drawing a bow?
>>43712968
No.
Next!

/thread
What do you think? Do you think blocking almost all of the momentum of the bow so that the arrow only accelerates for about an inch is practical? Do you think that hitting your own neck with a bowstring that is provably capable of stripping flesh is practical?
>>43712968
No but it looks cool.
Any other questions?
>>43712968
what is this I don't even
what.
Guys, I don't like thing. Should I keep doing thing?
>>43712968
Is this?
>>43712968
What kind of shitty thread is this supposed to be?
>>43713331
You.
>>43712968
Oh god, can you imagine the string catching your ear as it's releasing?
>>43713404
I guess that makes sense.
>>43713062
It doesn't look cool at all. It looks stupid as fuck. Not even a little cool.

>Accomplishes one of the greatest feats of archery in Mongolia
>Assume it's a trick shot so he's supposed to be even more badass for doing it
>It's not, it's played 100% straight
>Guo Jing proceeds to never use his archery skills ever again
This confused me so muchIf you think your waifu is better than her, you'reRONG
>>43713934
Found the archer.
>>43714151
you don't have to be an archer to find it stupid I can see how some might find it cool but its easy to see it the other way to.
>>43714116
>If you think your waifu is better than her
It's not like there's much to choose from in the show, there's the ugly daughter of Genghis Khan who appears once in a blue moon, and that dull pink girl who never does anything and is in love with that huge faggot.
In early archery the rest was on the right side of the bow unlike today where it is on the left. this allowed archers to quickly take the arrow out of the quiver put it on the rest and pull the sting back in one fluid motion. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BEG-ly9tQGk

Despicable
>>43713068
>>43714370
oh wait im retarded for some reason I thought he had stuck his neck between the string and the wood but its behind his head in this case I don't really know enough about archery to say if its practical or not but its probably not
as for how it looks I would say neither cool or stupid it just looks off to me.
>>43714505
Oh god, here we go.
>>43714505
Get this bullshido faggot out of here.
>>43712968
That makes certain muscles in my back go 'fuck you' just by looking at it
>>43712968
no no like this anon!

Reminder that for as much hate as /tg/ gives them, /tg/ STILL uses the Paizo method for determining realism
>>43712968
This some Chinese drama?
That crap tends to go really over the top. Like anime over the top. If they try to do something like pic related, just chalk it up to them trying to be cool, but just looking silly
>>43715908
I don't know we at least give it a few days.
>>43715925
Why's the guy sitting against the wall highlighted?
>>43716002
He 'died' despite nothing happening to him.
Other highlights from these dramas
>Monk using super speed to disarm Japanese soldier from his bayoneted rifle
>Monk punching said rifle into another Japanese soldier to that it impaled him...from the side.
>Woman getting raped goes super saiyan on them and does shit that makes physics weep.

Legend of the Condor Heroes, the 2012 version
Ridiculously good m80, and the entire thing is on youtube. You shouldwatch itbecauseit's a fun and cool showwith somereally fucking good charactersand somedramatic moments that really tug at your heart stringsalongsidefight scenes that make copious use of CGI and wirefu but manage to be good for a TV series
https://youtu.be/Dd1GWi5tP7M?t=1249
>2015
>Not introducing characters through a wuxia drinking game
>>43716350
Yeah but it's moving away from Historical drama and into the realm of sci-fi.
Even Chinese are calling this stuff out as ridiculous, stating if the Japanese were this easy to kill, it shouldn't have taken 8 years to get them out of China. A far cry from what these dramas were created for
>>43716469
Idon't see what that has to do with what I said, I just told him what chinkaboo drama it was and expanded on thatbut Imostly agree that the above linked scene was kind of stupid, like cmon m8s you spend like a full minute on the same "grill shoots arrows in rage, decimating other slanties" scene, repeated over and over, that should be an obvious no-no no matter which film school you went to
Okay I'll stop now
>>43716469
Let's see:
>Not pressing the stock into her shoulder.
>Not wrapping the strap around her, just letting it dangle.
>Leaving that protector thing on will mean cartridges won't eject properly.
>Left the cap on that scope.
And I'm out of ideas. Maybe there is something wrong with the uniform or the lack of camouflage but I wouldn't know.
>>43716255
it's like you hate having fun
>>43716469
Please, like Japanese media hasn't jumped the shark in that regards for the last decade.
Muh Superior Imperial Army! Muh Farmer worship.
>>43712968
In short, no. In long, hell the fuck no.
>>43718748
It stopped being fun when they started ripping off other media to make their shit.
>>43718710
Gonna add
>Her face is too close to the bolt. That thing fires, she's gonna swallow some teeth.
>>43712968
No
The most practical way is with a drawing utensil
>>43719530
>It stopped being fun when they started ripping off other media
if that's the case, all fun ceased centuries ago
>>43719563

>>43715111
It's not practical at all. He's cutting the length he can draw the bowstring back by at least half and also making it impossible to reliably aim at anything
It doesn't even look cool.
>>43713310
>four bows
>three arrows each
What a pleb, I'm at 28 bows and 9 arrows each
>>43712968
All practical issues of aiming and releasing the arrow aside, I thought the point is that the hyperextension would help you put more strength from the chest into it. Is this correct, or is that not how it works?
>>43716255
How is that making physics weep?
>>43712968
>Wuxia
>practical
The answer is almost always no.
>>43712968
Yes. You should try it some time. Come back and tell us how well it works out for you.
>>43721803
Firing 3 arrows vertically, and somehow they arc into a horizontal line going into the throat of three soldiers lined up shoulder to shoulder.
>>43718958
>Please, like Japanese media hasn't jumped the shark in that regards for the last decade.
Yeah they don't get a free pass. But frankly I don't watch that crap so can't say I have an opinion on it.
that's a photograph not a drawing.
>>43712968
This is. Used for shooting at something as you pass while on horseback. I don't remember the name of it, but it's an actual draw.
>>43724015
I wonder how often they mess up and shoot the horse on the butt.
