@ -Praetor-

I don't really understand. Do ancient vase paintings and such suggest that archers would do a "jerking hand motion" upon releasing the arrow?

No.

Or are you simply saying that since there isn't any proof of such a tecnique not being used, it can't be called incorrect to have it in EB?

No, we're using it because that's the natural motion of the upper body when you accumulate tension and you release it suddenly.

BTW, that's precisely the argument that I'm using against the opposite: There's no evidence of the technique of standing still after a shot was used in old times, so we can't use it on EB with certainty.
