i just noticed this! so im sitting here ranging greats under the ogre compound and it hits me. the bow im using is in the wrong had. i swing a sword with the right hand, right?(yes) so, logically, i would draw the bow string with the right hand. ha ha i caught something that jagex let by. i figured the makers of a magic and sword game would be framiliar with a bow, lol. i guess not.

 

 

 

try not to flame alot. :mrgreen:

urge to flame rising. reported and i wont to the be the wannebe mod saying the thing

 

 

 

"this needs to be locked!"

 

 

 

this belong in bugs and suggestions, also change that [bleep]ing [developmentally delayed]ed title -.-

Err...RS Chars are ambidextrous? IDK

 

 

 

Anyway, Pointless imo tbh. There've been threads on this before, and they've all been locked, seeing as JAGeX has more things to worry about that lefties/righties.

 

 

 

It's not a glitch, the programming to correct this would be jsut too much.

Such a stupid thread. People use both hands to things everyday... I can brush my teeth with my right hand and comb my hair with my left.

 

 

 

What's your effing point?

 

 

 

GLITCH?! Lmfao...

 

 

 

 

Thanks Jimmy for the GIF.

 

 

 

:lol: :lol: :lol:

I'm right handed and I'd use my right hand to hold the bow. It doesn't matter how you hold it to, since if you're pulling the string the force goes in both directions <--> like that. So what really matters is that you hold the front piece of the bow with your most steady hand for aiming.

What do you expect us to say? Haha? Stupid title, because this isn't a glitch. Anyway, I'm completely right-handed, and I shoot left-handed because my left eye is dominant. It's probably not even a mistake, just a purposeful difference. I normally never say this, but will some mod lock this? now?

Same here, I'm right handed, shoot lefty.

righty fighty, lefty shooty. :thumbsup: not a glitch, don't understand why this even got moved should have been locked.

the sense of humor has left the building.

 

 

 

 

 

seriously though the bow is in the wrong hand for a person who swings a sword in the right hand. grab your recurve out of the basement hold it and equip a mage short on rs. wrong hand. anyone who has a nice bow knows there is left and right handed bows, and like baseball gloves for right handed people u hold in left hand. u can switch it up and do like they do on rs but only with dollar store bows and its not a natural posture.

 

 

 

seriously dont get mad. its only pixles and words.

 

"life is grand"....kenny hotz

Once again, I'm completely right-handed. I fence with my right hand (sword). I shoot with my left. Big deal. There's really no "right" or "wrong" on this subject. Just because you do it differently doesn't mean it's wrong. :|

This is actually not a glitch and has been around since the beginning of RS.

 

The reason is:

 

 

 

If you're wielding a weapon in RS, you'll always wield it in the right hand, and since bows are not shot while both hands are

 

on the weapon, unlike melee weapons, the attack animation must include the shield hand for drawing back the bow. The bow

 

simply cannot be held in the shield hand. That's why when you're just wielding a bow and not using it, it's held in the right (weapon) hand,

 

and the attack animation has to go in conjunction:

 

bow in the right hand, draw back with the left.

Well, it wouldn't make any sense if you held a bow in the shield slot would it? A bow is a weapon and a weapon goes in the weapon slot. It's only logical. I noticed this the first day I started. That's the conclusion I came to then, and it's the conclusion I'm telling you now.

 

 

 

Whoops Ashoke beat me to it.

Erm...With an M16 the hand in front is the one you don't use for writing.And I've done some archery,its near impossible to aim properly with your weaker hand behind.I still got bullseye,but still,it was hard.

 

 

 

Left hand is mainly for stability,and right hand for the strength...So its correct.

 

 

 

Dumbest "glitch" ever!!!

Well I swing a sword w/my right an shoot w/my left...So does that make me a glitch?I mean *Twitch* the doctors said when I was born there was something wrong with me... Should Jagex "Nerf" me? Waaa!! and i wanted to be a singer.....
