Down and to the left is one of his arms. It goes to the left, then bending at the elbow it goes right to his hand, which is obscuring part of his chin and neck. The hand is pulling the string of the bow back and holding the arrow, which he is aiming at a target to the right, beyond the image border. His other arm is stretched out horizontally to the right, where his hand holds the bow's handgrip. The bow has a sight (an aid to accurate aiming) fixed to the handgrip above his hand. The bow arcs left, up and down the page from the archers hand on the right. The bow's string is attached to the tips at the top and bottom of the bow and is being pulled back and tensioned by the archer's hand near his head. The arrow can be found parallel to and above the archer's arm on the right. The archer's body and legs are down the page from his head. He is seated on the wheelchair, which has its wheels to the left and right of his feet.One-armed archer using his mouth to release an arrow - This image, on the right of the page, shows an archer whose arm has been amputated at the shoulder, aiming at a target to the right, beyond the image border.
