I'm no good at it but my buddy trained himself to shoot like that (he was already deadly accurate from 20) and now that he's used to it he's just as accurate that way and can loose a bunch of arrows real fast.

I haven't tried it, and have shot with a finger tab from the beginning. It doesn't seem like it would be comfortable for me at all. BUT, I never thought that I could drive a manual (Eaton) and use my left foot on the brake, but that is the easiest way for me to downshift. I'm sure Gun Doc could give me a few pointers.  ;D

You would think an elf would be able to tiller a bow better than that. . .  :D

Yeah, the bow is a little "different".  Kind of like a short Yumi style design?

i read the web comic this is from :laugh:, he(the author) made this image and a few others as some more back story for his characters.
this character shoots a more conventional style most of the time but knows how to shoot this way for speed shooting. ;)

I don't know where George Lucas got the idea of Palm Out but in an Avatar movie/ interview
he explains how he used the style to amp up his Smurfy type tree dwellers.
