BlueLeafeon Posted March 7, 2013 Share Posted March 7, 2013 Okay, I know I'm probably just being nitpicky here, but it kind of bothers me how the archers grunt when they let go of the string. I'm not an expert on bows, but wouldn't pulling the string back be more likely to cause grunts due to the effort? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sunshineYON Posted March 7, 2013 Share Posted March 7, 2013 They are exhibiting kiai when they are letting go of the string. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Remnant Sage Posted March 7, 2013 Share Posted March 7, 2013 Archer here. Some people do make noises when they let go, especially if they flub a shot. Or punch their jaw upon release due to a high draw weight + fatigue. But ideally, you should be silent and already have exhaled when you reach anchor.
