Ok, so Io9 posted this professional’s review of the archery accuracy in the Averngers trailer, and I liked it maybe a little more than I should have.  Just something about the way he writes it.  His uncompromising criticism without being overly petty or dismissive.  And he doesn’t fall to the youtube level of vulgarity either.  Stay classy internet. 
So anyway, I post this as a reminder to review reference material for everything to illuminate inaccuracies like this.  And while we laymen might not notice some of the more specific details and lack access to professionals to review details, an abundance of visual resources can never hurt.
And I know a great Tumblr blog to get such breathtaking resources!  *Points thumbs!*

ahaha after getting bitched at a few times I stopped criticizing Hawkeye’s stance but YES
HEY
I CAN GET BEHIND THIS YES GOOD

Yes. Just yes.

Also, is Hawkeye pinching the arrow to draw back? He’s using all four fingers, but only his pinky and index look like they’re touching the string…
