Why can't artists learn how to draw archery equipment properly?

Look at the image below. Tell me what is wrong with the compound bow in the image.

Well, lots of things. Chief of which is that it has strings for the pulleys, but no actual bowstring. (Anyone who has a compound bow will know this.)

The "compound bow" also has lots of extra stuff on the limbs that have no business being there. Things that serve no purpose.

Oh and lest we forget, where is the arrow rest? There isn't one. If you zoom in you will see the handle doesn't have an arrow rest at all, and the handle is not where it would normally be on a compound bow.

And last but not least, there are cams for pulleys, but they are really tiny and circular - which means zero let off. This isn't even a compound bow if there is no let off. It is basically a shortbow designed to look like a compound bow.

Sights and stabilizers, those are no big deal. Those are optional anyway. But basically the above image is the result of an artist doing what they think is the way to draw a compound bow, without having taken a proper look at one and learning how it works.

But hey, this is pretty common for idiot artists to do. It doesn't seem to matter whether they are historical artists, fantasy artists or science fiction artists - only a rare few seems to know how to draw or paint a proper bow.

Take for example the "Egyptian" archer drawing on the right.

Based on the tips, it is obviously a recurve bow, but they have drawn the bowstring attached below the tips as opposed to attached to the actual tips.

And it is not alone...

People who don't know any better end up making photographs and movies based off this level of idiocy.

Like the photo below, wherein they attached a really long bowstring to a tiny recurve bow meant for a kid. Let alone they gave her a left hand draw recurve bow, yet she is pulling it incorrectly with her right hand. Sheer idiocy.

And then there is the Hunger Games. Lets have a quick look at Everything Wrong with Katniss Archery Form...

Oh and she is pulling to an anchor spot on her chin, which should only be done on an Olympic bow with a clicker because a chin anchor spot is less accurate than a mouth anchor spot. (Olympic archers only use chin anchor spots because they use a Clicker gadget for their draw length.)

So artists, photographers who don't know how string a bow properly, and idiot film makers who don't bother to properly train their actors.

So when was the last time a film properly trained their actors you might ask?

Sad to say it might be "Deliverance" starring Jon Voight and Burt Reynolds.

Or possibly Robin Hood: Prince of Thieves with Kevin Costner.

If there is any painters, photographers or people in the movie industry reading this, please do us all a favour and learn how to do archery properly before trying to imitate it. Otherwise we will just be making fun of your poorly made films, poorly drawn art pieces or idiotic photographs for all eternity - or as long as the internet still works.

And one more... It doesn't take a genius to figure out what is wrong with this image. Count how many mistakes you can see and post your answer in the comments.
