[Altaïr takes a moment to examine the bow and the tightness of its string, mainly to get a feel for the weapon; he doesn't doubt it's overall quality, the previous errant arrow aside.
It's been a while since he's shot with a bow — some months before the mission in Solomon's Temple, he's sure — so he's equally unhurried when he nocks an arrow and takes his stance, but if he's not an expert bowman, his training was at least thorough enough that the feeling of how it should go comes back to him quickly.
If Claude has never noticed it before, Altaïr's grip on the bow makes it obvious that he has only nine fingers and the remnant of a tenth, but it doesn't seem to hinder his aim. He fires a good but unspectacular shot — though it's not as if either of them know where the bullseye would be.]
