DISCLAIMER: This post is for RP informational purposes only and should in no way be used as a substitute for actual archery instruction. If you want to try it out, go take an actual safety/beginner's class.
Okay. All of this is with the caveat that there are different shooting techniques depending on whether you're target shooting or hunting, and some variation depending on the type of bow you're using, but the basics of form are pretty much the same.
Also I apologize for picking on fictional archers with my illustrations here but honestly it's the easiest way to find pictures of bad form. -_- In part because sometimes it just looks better on camera, admittedly.
