Request for 'Proper Wielding' Pool or the Like

Posted under General

I've been looking at a number of pictures which display improper weapon usage or wielding. An example of which are a number of Kantai Collection, or Madoka images, with bows and arrows drawn incorrectly, this is understandable as archery is not the most common hobby to practice. And I do acknowledge differences in archery styles, throughout the East and the West. I wish to create a pool which compiles images with proper weapon usage, which can include swords, guns, in addition to bows, akin to the "Accurate Instrumentation" pool. The pool could come in handy for those who would like to use them as references.

I'm top of having to review 173K posts, I'm also concerned by how many posters actually know how a weapon is properly wielded... especially since many of them might have "learned" from Hollywood examples or anime, which may be using improper techniques or grips.

And example would be how yumi_(bow) are used - artists may insist in drawing them being pulled and fired the way you'd use a short bow or a compound bow... which is the very DEFINITION of improper wielding, but may end up in the "proper wielding" pool out of ignorance.
