Just let me give you some pieces of advises if you intent to pose with a bow in the future.

First about your left hand, you want to have your arrow ABOVE your hand, not in between your fingers. Also you want to have your hand at 10 o'clock angle, so that your elbow point outward. The reason behind this is so that your arm doesn't naturally bend inward and have the string rake across your forearm when you shoot.

Second your right hand, you only need two or three fingers on the string, no more. And never EVER bend the string of your bow! here you seen to have what look like a more traditionally inspired fantasy bow, but if you were using something like a compound bow you would have injured yourself easily and maybe cause some damage to your bow (like in this video:www.youtube.com/watch?v=AJoxJJ…. Also why is the back of your arrow is behind your hand ? If you haven't noticed yet there seen to be this small piece of extra length on the back of your arrow, its called a nock and it's purpose is to "attach" your arrow to the string, and its also the part your suppose to put in between your fingers.

As someone who want to become a bow hunter in the future and who has recently got an interest in archery, this is cringe worthy. I hope you found that comment useful and next time you use a bow, or any weapon for that matter, that you do your research and make sure you do things right.
