She's about to get a bruised forearm/wrist, most likely. Wear a damn bracer when you do archery, y'all, especially the beginners.

^Isn't having the string slap the fuck out of your arm half the fun though? (I kid, I know bowstrings hurt like fuck via firsthand experience haha)

The string slap halves the fun of archery, indeed, firsthand exp too.

The arrow is on the wrong side of the bow for western archery.
In traditional Japanese archery is the arrow placed outside? Not that the bow looks like a kyudo bow- i forget in the series if she is shown using a yumi or hankyu.
P.s I love this paring, especially when Umi is in her dashing/suave mode making Aya blush :)

Umi practices kyudo in canon, and in kyudo the arrow is set on the same side of the bow as the string drawing hand aka "outside", and the string is drawn all the way back to about the corner of the jaw bone, in contrast to setting the arrow "inside" and drawing to the chin in modern western archery (historically, others cultures has different techniques in archery)

^ I did think she was doing kyudo. That bow isnt a yumi or half yumi tho - thats why i wasnt sure if she did traditional japanese archery- that bow looks more western design with the symetrical curve.

Nothing like the hands-on approach
