4. "The man cocked the bow"????
How the hell do you cock a bow? Unless it's a crossbow, I'm not sure it's even possible.

But what do I know?

6. Nocked, not cocked
An bow and arrow is nocked. A crossbow is cocked.

8. That was my point. I was quoting directly from the article when I said
"cocked." That's why I was questioning it.
