Watch the incredible contortionist Sofie Dossi, age 14

@Mal_Tosevite, @Skeptic, I just watched it again.

During the actual trick shot, at no point does she direct a drawn, loaded bow at the audience. She’s 100% safe handling (footling?).

However, she does (a minute or so earlier) do the slightly drawn high pan over the audience. You’re right, I missed that!

But - she’s got her hand fisted around the string, which makes it pretty much the same as a gun with a trigger lock on it. Still not good form, not at all! You’re totally right about that. But you’re exaggerating the actual danger quite a bit. There’s no way for the string to slip, and yes I do shoot a bit, I’m not extrapolating from inexperience.
