maybe a half inch short....form looks ok...you should move the left hand more to pinch the back muscels it looks you like / should be alittle more\

Looks good to me

The only thing that jumps right out is that it looks like you need to shorten the release. Your drawing elbow is ever so slightly down. I think you could add about 1/2" to the bow's draw length, and just lower your anchor to keep the nose on the string---just a bit--not radical.

I'd try turning the bow hand out a bit, but it looks relaxed as is. Form isn't really too bad. Just a little fine tuning.

I see alot of photos where the release hand isnt' anchored at all. Is this becoming more common? I guess i come from the "you got to have a good anchor point" school of thought from finger releasing.

Actually, I anchor with my index knuckle right under my ear lobe, in the back corner of my jaw bone. Its a little hard to see in the picture

I guess as long as you are comforable with that anchor point, that will work. For me, I would get get a new release to pull you 1" closer. But thats me. Reason I want my anchor to be closer is, it lets me follow thru with my release. If I am already pulled back to my max, its hard for me to follow thru.

Some of those style releases are easy to shorten. If it has a threaded rod inside you can just cut the rod and the outter shell or hose to fit. I usually shorten mine because I don't like to have to reach for the trigger. That bow looks good on you, have fun shooting
