Looks pretty good - yea, your shoulder is a little high. You might also consider a little shorter release - ie. one that puts your anchor point a little further forward without changing the draw length.

Can you rotate your left elbow so that it is not pointing toward the floor and make it so that it points out?That might drop your shoulder down a little...just an idea.Try it and if you like it then good. If not, forget it...it was just some crazy idea that some guy you've never met on the the internet had.

It doesn't look much different to me. I think your shoulder was lower in the first thread.

Here is me

Ok, I thought we were talking about your release arm.

I didn't read through all of the posts in the original thread. Just looked at the pics.

I can't see how your arm is bent but try rotating your shoulder out. Like someone grabbed your arm and twisted it away from the bow. You might also try shortening your draw length a half inch. It will force you to unlock your bow arm and rotate your forearm out away from the bow.
