It was rarely used, sometimes, somewhere, somewhen. But almost everyone in all the media has it. In the picture G you can see how the bowstring will hit his hanging sleeve, because of this unnatural position.Д¦. Otherwise BloomвЂ™s archery form is excellent (if the bow would stay upwards all the time, but heвЂ™s probably been asked to do it sideways). I donвЂ™t know what happens in the picture F with his gripping hand, seems like an idiotic photoshop error, but anyway his grip is too far away from the face. This is more Hollywoodian than Mirkwoodian.ДҐ. The double arrows are less likely to penetrate an armour, since the halved force. If the target is not wearing any armour, one arrow will kill it, if the aim is right. If one arrow penetrates the armour of the enemy, thatвЂ™s enough. What are two arrows going to do what one canвЂ™t? If my physics calculations arenвЂ™t way off, the power of the bow now transfers to two different arrows, rather than putting all the pushing force into one missile, thus decreasing the effect of the arrows by half! ThatвЂ™s actually worse than shooting just one arrow. I wonder why would anyone do that? Since the arrows will hit pretty much the same target. At the picture D our Mirkwoodian shoots two arrows at once. At the same picture Legolas also draws the string with only two fingers, instead of the вЂњstandardвЂќ mediterranean grip of three fingers.

I donвЂ™t know about that, but he has the arrow on the wrong side of the bow, and he holds it between his index and middle fingers, which is going to hurt (and possibly effect the missiles flight) when the arrow is released.ДЈ. At the picture A Legolas has very amateurish grip, as if he werenвЂ™t instructed at all, and this would be just some promotional photo before the actual archery training started for the actor. I donвЂ™t know whoвЂ™s fault is this, maybe the directorsвЂ™.Дў. I calculated the angles he holds his longbow, and I put the pictures in order from the straight vertical (90Вє angleВ from the horizon level) from almost completely horizontal position of the bow (25Вє angle). Many times, not always, but a lot, as these pictures show.

The most frequent issue is that Legolas shoots sideways.

And now, Legolas Greenleaf! EveryoneвЂ™s favourite elf! Teenager-girlsвЂ™ day dream, Orlando Bloom, knows pretty well how to shoot with a bow, but there are some issues with the character of Legolas.ДЎ.
