form looks good, but your draw length is the question.... too long maybe?

you can get a ball park if you measure finger tip to finger tip not stretched all the way out, just hold up and then divide by 2.5 Or you can divide your height by 2.5 and get close, it's completely accurate b/c bifferent bows have different DL but it will give you an idea.

It"™s hard to tell from that picture. It looks like your leaning back, might be picture. You need better pictures fron head to toe at different angles.

Damn!! Arrowmike!! Where the hell have you been?? long time no see!!

I would agree that your draw length looks a little long. Your bow arm looks good as far as the bend in it goes. One other thing that i might suggest is your wrist on your release hand looks cocked upwards. I would try to straighten it out so that it is a nice straight line from your elbow to the tip of your arrow. With your elbow pointed up just a bit. Look at this guys form.

Not bad from this angle. However, I like to have my 'bow arm' straight as a nail. That way I know when I'm at full draw that my arm is always in the same spot. If you allow some bend in the 'bow arm,' I believe that each time you draw your bow, you could potentially be changing your anchor point, affecting the stability, and even reducing the amount of time you could hold at full draw on an animal that needs to take a step or two before you can see vitals.

I think your 'draw arm' looks fine as long as you know where your anchor point is or use a kisser button.

Hope this helps!
