I guess I'm just not sure what your angle is with the post. Please illuminate the underlying concern for me.

she looks a little over extended on her draw, which necessitates the forearm guard; she appears to be squeezing a little too much with the hand but makes me wonder what she is holding that tight when she has a sling to use, maybe she needs educated on why a sling is placed on a bow to begin with; she isn't dressed out in high dollar matching camo, although I can't say for certain her designer camo pants weren't high dollar, they just don't match her hemp shirt; the billed hat would catch way too much attention from animals to be bow hunting; her "boyfriend" is way too plain colored to be that close to animals unless the animals are used to seeing hippies in the grow behind these two characters and don't get spooked by people much;

But everything else seems "in place" enough to not get caught by camera angles...

Oh so we are worried about her form. Well I might worry the bottom limb could hit the fence rail on release. And I might worry about the bow draw being to long, or her form not being perfect. But I'm just as concerned that if it is a "hunting shot" situation that they are on the edge of a road, in a line of trees shooting into a horse pasture.

I have no idea what the OP was worried about...I was just posting a sarcastic comment to stir action...I was curious too what the OP meant by his post...

I think the OP might have been looking at the relation of the lower limb and cam in relation to the fence rail. Looks like the limb or limb and cam could strike the rail if the shot was taken.

Yes, I was talking about the lower limb. It looks like it's against the fence rail which could be a disaster at release. Don't overthink it. grin

That's the problem. I over think everything. Except before I type or speak . . . hammer

If the limb is touching or too close then maybe she'll get lucky and hit a target 100 yards past her intended target. It'll def be a high shot trout

No trolling here, just passing the time with a light hearted observation of a photograph. It looks like she's about to shoot with her lower limb resting on the fence. I also qualified it with "it may just be the angle". Your troll meter may need to be calibrated.

Looks like an advertisement to me.

Just a pic from the ATA website, not that it is advertising anything here. The ATA trade show ended over a week ago. Unless the angle is way off it does look like the lower limb is about to hit the rail if they were to shoot. Could have been even tired of holding the bow up for a photo shoot and rested it on the limb for photos.

Don't see the remarks or OP as a Trolling attempt, or at least nothing like happens in some threads on the THF

Carry on

I think my question would be if she is actually able to see through the peep site on the bow....looks like she is looking under it. This kind of stuff could be interesting because if anyone has kids they want to introduce to bow shooting, not just hunting, it would be good to look at something like this and have some ideas to reference when speaking to the kid about their shot. Its not like there is a lot to shoot at right now, with deer season pretty much gone and turkey not for a couple months....lol
