Using artistic licence in writing

I just wrote a scene in my WIP with an archer and used "release" as I suggested in this thread earlier. It seems to work well. At least to my brain.
 
If it's any help, I've just been watching the second season of Game of Thrones and they used 'Loose' at the Battle of the Blackwater rather than 'Fire'. (And the arrows being loosed were alight.)
 
This conversation has moved on quite a bit but I'll just throw my 2 cents in and say I prefer "loose" and think it sounds better and more dramatic than "fire" in this context.
 
What about crossbows? Loose doesn't fit that well with them at first glance I think.
 
I'm not sure I agree with you there, glutton. Loosing, or releasing quarrels (or bolts, if you want) would be fine with me.

Maybe, I was just getting image of somebody letting go of the bowstring with loose/release.
