Default updated draw length/forum photos. advice please.

shortened my release by 3/4". now I anchor with the index knuckle under my ear as before, but also witht he web between my thumb and index finger locked solidly in the point of my jaw bone. Anything else that jumps out? (aside from my pajamas [8D])

FYI - my index finger isnt resting on the trigger, I squeeze it with the main knuckle crease.

that release looks alot better...draw length could be 1/4" to 1/2"longer. so that you kiss the string up alittle higher to give a more balenced level hold...but if that is comfy i would go with it(form looks good)...move those limb savers closer to those cams

I think I can tweak with the string length to get me another 1/2" or so, but thats a project for after season. Right now the bow is maxed at 30".

Definately better but you are too short imo.


I don't like that much bend in the bow arm personally but for hunting it MIGFHT be ok.


Your shoulders still look tensed up,relax them.You just might be built that way but from the pics,they could come down.
