TV can't do archery
Seriously. The bows and arrows on TV must be made of some magical materials. There is NO WAY you can draw a normal bow by the arrow, and have the arrow shoot at the target with a reliable amount of force. You would need a ridiculous amount of gripping power if you want to draw a normal bow by the arrow. What you're SUPPOSED to do is to put the index finger above the arrow, the middle and forth finger below the arrow, and DRAW ON THE STRING!!!! But NOOOOO, every single show that I came across where bow and arrows are being shot, THEY DRAW THE ARROW! (Yes, this includes live action war/ kong fu shows as well). It seriously pisses me off.

Have you checked out Legolas in LoTR?
Don't tell me he does it wrong too....
well, he IS drawing the bow using his fingers, which is good. But he's letting the arrow lay on his hand, or guiding two arrows with his fingers from his left hand. THAT makes me cringe. If you shoot arrows the way Legolas does it, your left hand/ fingers would get cut by those fletchings. And let me tell you this, those cuts feel like the worst paper cut you have in your life! So the only thing I can think of, is that Legolas' left hand has invulnerability charm on it.
They do it because they're cool!
