I would also like to see more lift to the bow and arrow so I could imagine the arrow traveling some distance , mybe not as much as in the picture Tony supplied . As it is the arrow is only going to travel 25-40 meters allowing for trajectory
chippy
I already discussed this point on modelsculpt. Sergei told us that figure was intended as a part of a scene - so this angle was a specific request. He never told what the setup was.
I assume that whoever ordered it has pulled out and Sergei just got it painted as a one off unique figure.
otherwise the figure doesnt have proper longbow pose and hand grip with 2 fingers on a warbow isnt plausible due to pull weight etc etc

and some of the arrows look like those used by Japanese Samuri
What on earth makes you think about samurai arrows here - have you ever seen one ? Bodkin may be arguably touch too big, but not unrealistic, otherwise proper longbow arrow, correct size and shape of fletchings, good diameter for warbow - Sergei got alot of things right here.

Whereas Kyudo arrows are longer, slender, long 3 sided twisting fletchings, made of bamboo and so on and so on
 
Colleagues Thank you all! I really liked the work of the artist. I share the pleasure with you :)))) .

That's a real nice job. A minor point they almost never carried arrows like that in battle but stuck them into the ground for ease of use
And as an early example of germ Warfare if the arrow didn't kill you then the bit of poo stuck to it would........Eventually..Lol....Kevin
