    Wrist .... not too likely looking at the position.

    But if you were an archer they might move you over to a longer arrow bow or one of the repeating crossbows when you had earned the nick name half thumb or 8 fingers.

    Not much aiming and not much power in the repeating crossbow compared to a regular bow but a few hundred on the walls of a fort or city (probably dipped in something nasty) would probably make a formidable unskilled defense.

    Another version that I stumbled across..... amazing the wandering of the mind (and browser) when you are listening to sales and the new PM ..... after awhile it starts to sound like Charlie Brown adults... I digress... back to bows and history.

    Instant Ghengis Khan, similar to the Korean but with a much less likely 9 finger result.

    another version.... gotta admire someone who is capable a bit crazy and has too much fun!
