Ycon Posted January 10, 2006 Share Posted January 10, 2006 If right-handed u hold a bow with ur left hand and pull the arrow with ur right hand coz u need power 2 do that while u hardly need any power to hold the bow. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Varda Posted January 10, 2006 Share Posted January 10, 2006 Ever seen a granite maul? You hold it the wrong way. See? Try holding an imagnary maul-handle right now. If you're right-handed, your right hand would autimatically go on top. Well, see in the pic, the right hand's on the bottom. Nope, if you are right handed, your right hand will go at bottom. Because the right hand is strongest, and you need the power and balance to hold it right. If your hold your right hand at top, and left on the bottom, You wouldn't get much power or balance. Same if you are left handed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mero Posted January 10, 2006 Share Posted January 10, 2006 because in real life if your right handed you hold a sword in you right hand and hold abow in your left and pul the arrow with your right hand Not always true. Ever heard of people being ambidextrous. When i golf, I swing right handed, but I putt left handed. I write with either had, but I use my left unless something stops me from being able to, such as the year my entire left hand was in a cast. I draw better with my right hand. I can shoot a pistol just as well with either hand. I shoot rifles right handed, but that is only because they are made right handed, and you need to get bolt actions for left handed people, where most are made for right. Same with bows. I use my right had for the most part in punching and throwing, but I am left footed. And then we come to the fact that it is just a game. OH NOOOOOO, the world is going to end, all because your little PC isn't holding his weapons the way you think he should. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bob7926 Posted January 10, 2006 Share Posted January 10, 2006 not that big of a deal if you ask the question.. who in real life can hold a backpack full of life sized sharks, run in full armor, respawn after they die, teleport, and the list goes on and on. lets not forget this is just a game and also accept the fact that not everything in the game is or should be life-like.

SkULLEDPK3R Posted January 10, 2006 Share Posted January 10, 2006 I use both hands to shoot my xbow cause i duel it up cause im a REAL OG! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mero Posted January 11, 2006 Share Posted January 11, 2006 No, I don't go shooting Chompies irl. I've held a, normal bow? lol Compound bow, as opposed to a long bow. You need more strength in the drawing hand that you do the hand that holds the bowstaff. The hand that holds the bowstaff, you lock your elbow and thus requires no strength, the hand you draw the bow with is where you are using all of your strength at.

spooferfish Posted January 11, 2006 Share Posted January 11, 2006 your crazy i do some archery to i always use my right hand my left arm is to weak I do archery quite a bit IRL, I'm right handed, and I hold my bow in my left hand, and draw it with my right. This is the way everyone else I know shoots too, holding the bow in their non-dominant hand. I posted a long time ago about something like this in rsc. We are ambudexterous magicians. In rc we held the weapon in our right hand, and shield in left, then when we attacked something, they suddenly, and magically switched to the other hands... I guess Jagex has taken our magic powers and left us with only being abudexterous.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
desipardesi Posted January 11, 2006 Share Posted January 11, 2006 rangers are so strong that we use the weaker hand to fire bows so that meleers and magers dont feel too upset and have a fairer chance of competing. # 1101 to 99 range on 12-18-0585 slayer on 12-18-05 with combat at 102; retired from members since Feb 06.Back since June 07. 2000+ total.

Mero Posted January 12, 2006 Share Posted January 12, 2006 I hold my bow in my left hand, and draw it with my right. This is the way everyone else I know shoots too, holding the bow in their non-dominant hand. Even people who are normally left handed tend to shoot a bow right handed, just for the simple fact, you have to special order bows for left handed people. Just as you do for guns/golf clubs...and generally most other things in the world. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
the_one27 Posted January 12, 2006 Share Posted January 12, 2006 actually if you are ambidextrous, you can do it with both hands, only about 2% of the world is so.....runescape must be that 2% Click here for my PK training blogClick here for a FREE registry cleaner, it did me a world of good.
