Nothing grinds my gears quite like archery in Hollywood. The very thought of it makes me cringe and want to cry for that poor, misused bow. It's not fair. Even movies that are surrounded by archery (Hunger Games I'm talking about you) are completely inaccurate. In the real world, you'd be dead Katniss. Sorry to burst your bubble. It's even worse when you tell someone you're an archer and they compare you to those on screen. I take that as a insult and I start to think "Am I really that bad?" "Maybe the problem isn't my form maybe it's me" "I'm sorry bow it's not you it's me". I know that for some movies they hire professional shooters to teach the actors. They do train hard, but that doesn't show on screen. All I see is too many or not enough fingers on the string and an impossible shot because that form is AWFUL. Archery is so much more than pulling back and letting go. It's an art and it's beautiful. I can't stand seeing it done incorrectly by hollywood because if they have the money to make a 3 million dollar movie, they can make the archery accurate. Now I also understand that in the heat of the scene it's difficult to remember form when you're trying to stay in character. It's lots of pressure, but it's feasible!
