Bows and Boobs

[Adipose]

Right! Sorry if title is a bit tacky but I just couldn't resist. Thing is, for those who've

actually shot a bow, you know how the string is drawn partly across the chest and

to the ear...at least in the Western tradition. There are other methods employed by

different cultures.

 

How do real modern women cope with the threat of injury resulting from the fierce

movement of the bow string once it is released? Seems to me that the massively

endowed lovelies preferred by so many Skyrim players would have quite a bit

of difficulty avoiding damage. If you don't believe me, try shooting a bow without

wrist protection.

 

Armor, padding or a somewhat altered hold would be a necessity I would think.

I think historically woman would 'wrap up' when going into battle, not to mention the bust sizes many have in their games are on the extreme end of things for most women. Tight constrictive clothing and realistic armour and I think your sorted. Maybe you will have to go find an archery forum and see how the women get on with that problem :smile: (How they will take the question on the other hand...)

Draw length plays a large part in archery and proper fit of a bow to a shooter. Bows are not universal one size does not fit all and also the action of drawing a-crossed your chest is largely inaccurate and would mean that bow is to big for you. The biggest rub from shooting is your forearm not your chest hence why the arm guard when shooting. Myths abound about shooting a bow but the reality is proper fit and form equal function and accuracy.
