October 6 and 13, huh? I wonder if the blurays will be out in time for my birthday.

Has there been any announcement regarding the release date of the third movie?

I think it's an inertia thing. I've seen this in games and stuff where the bow ends up pivoting like that.
Can someone provide a better explanation?

Yeah, after release of an arrow, it is typical for the force of friction of the arrow leaving the bow to 'pull' the string with it a ways, in most cases, the direction it was shot. Gloves are necessary, as the pull of the bow will pinch and burn the hands if left bare.

I'm sure it's just a style unique to Japanese Kyudo. They rest the arrow on the outside of the grip as opposed to inside like other archery styles.
