mmmorgan Posted July 22, 2008 Share Posted July 22, 2008 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: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jimmyw3000 Posted July 22, 2008 Share Posted July 22, 2008 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. [hide=][/hide] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pinkbullet3 Posted July 22, 2008 Share Posted July 22, 2008 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: ^ Blog. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ezz Posted July 22, 2008 Share Posted July 22, 2008 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. [insert birds flying in a circle here]Yes, that sig was annoying.

Georgelemmons Posted July 22, 2008 Share Posted July 22, 2008 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? Thanks to Uno for the awsome sig <3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bored321 Posted July 22, 2008 Share Posted July 22, 2008 righty fighty, lefty shooty. :thumbsup: not a glitch, don't understand why this even got moved should have been locked. Thanks Gradeskip93 for my awesome sig! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mmmorgan Posted July 22, 2008 Author Share Posted July 22, 2008 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.

Georgelemmons Posted July 22, 2008 Share Posted July 22, 2008 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. :| Thanks to Uno for the awsome sig <3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ashoke Posted July 23, 2008 Share Posted July 23, 2008 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. No snowflake in an avalanche ever felt responsible. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tom_Servo Posted July 23, 2008 Share Posted July 23, 2008 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.

dragoonson Posted July 23, 2008 Share Posted July 23, 2008 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!!! so i herd u liek devarts?If you look at me and feel offended by my 666-ism,think.I could be just as offended by your "cross".[hide=This's why I'm hot]The Eleventh Commandment:Thou Shalst only say "Amen,brother".Amen, brother :lol:Amen, brudda (referring to the 10th commandment)amen Bruder!
