That's a hideously unflattering stance in that first picture. Graceless, miserable lump.
Anyway. Yeah, Sheldon has now morphed into AnyGuy. There's nothing in those pictures to mark any of them out as anything other than ordinary suburban couples. Leonard is gradually losing the layers and getting stuff that fits him, even if the colours are hideous.
Sheldon was the one who has a crossbow in his closet. That's canon. And he's far more likely to be picking off pigeons than making friends with them. (I still think that was a bizarrely crap effort at emulating Tesla.) I got the impression that Sheldon had been taken shooting as a child, 'close enough to a raccoon that it craps itself'.
I absolutely agree that they'd be all up in archery and swordplay, even if they turned out to be useless at it. (Why I wrote TPP) Howard dressed up as Robin Hood, I can see him liking the whole swashbuckling Hollywood thing. And the lightsabers - get any bunch of blokes together with lightsabers, and they run about making whoosh noises and reverting to age six. (Sometimes, their wives join in. Particularly those who fenced sabre at university.) But if the show ever does that, it will be another sick-making cosplay with useless damsels - Penny used to do Junior Rodeo, she should be getting her Warrior Princess on, not sitting around like a wet lettuce with Shrieky and Droopy, waiting for the rest of the dwarves to turn up.
