    Arrow on right side?

    First off let me say the new trailer was awesome. If I hadn't already preordered, this would have sold me on it.

    Really looking forward getting my hands on this game.

    I was just curious, though, about the placement of Connor's arrow.



    Aren't arrows fired from the left side of a bow? Or is this some sort of older method of shooting?

    Not complaining. Just curious.

    Videogames never seem to get arrow shooting exactly right. Shame. That's the cutscene animation, though, the actual in-game animation may look more accurate.

    Not according to this guy. (Pic I got from another forum) Anyways, I'm sure there are all sorts of different ways of firing a bow. Connor is simply using his own style.

    I'm no master archer, but when I was in the Scouts and had archery, I'm pretty sure people just put the arrow on whatever side their dominant hand was on.

    Looks fine to me. Not really sure how it would work shooting the arrow from the left side when you're right-handed

    Indeed...

    You place the arrow with your dominate hand.. So if your right handed - it goes on the right side of the bow..other wise your crossing your arms over to load and it is very tricky to maintain a fixed hold on the arrow shaft, for aiming.


    Needless to say, if your loading in fast succession then you want it on the right, if your right handed....

    But, isn't the arrow supposed to rest against the bow?

    I have used bows a few times, but i can't remember how i did it.

    I've done it a few times, they told me to put the arrow on the right side if you're right and on the left side if you're left.


    All credit goes to Turul for making this AWESOME sig! Thanks!
