I'm not even an archer (I just like archery and have done it a few times casually) and even I was wincing. As soon as I saw that arm I was like 'he's not gunna do anything good with that' -- but then doubted myself when the instructor said nothing!

@danielbender4327 2 года назад

Asian and eastern European shooting traditions both use a right-sided shot.
