As someone who did archery irl: She's doing it wrong in more ways than the painfully obvious one. For one, unless you replaced your dominant hand arm with a terminator-grade robot arm, there's no way in feck your hand holding the string & arrow won't shake. Holding even dozens of kilograms of force in place without support does that.
BTW you use your chin for support. One of the reasons bows are custom-adjusted to their user.
Another funny thing, in RPGs the bow is typically a weapon given to female characters. In reality to operate a medieval warbow you need quite some strength, so the bow should be used by the strongest character in your party. Moreover, holding a warbow fully drawn for any longer period of time is pretty much impossible since it would require near superhuman strength.

True, bowmen would be the strongman of the party, the agile dude would be the sword weilder.
And Orcs would be natural born bowmen, not elves. They would release arrows from much stronger bows, a barrage comparable to rifle fire.
Yeah, now that you mentioned it, that's propably the reason why the scene in LotR where Boromir gets shot by Lurtz is so awesome.
But maybe she actually is a cyborg with quantum phasing capabilities.
That makes so much sense!
