Honestly, even if someone else here posts otherwise, I wouldn't change a thing unless you really want to get into competitive shooting. Your grip could be tweaked a tiny bit but it's not necessary for what you do with a bow andI really think everything looks pretty darn good. It's unusual for a guy of your size to be coordinated enough to really setup consistently in good form but you really look VERY good for someone that hasn't worked with a coach. You havegreat repeatable reference pointson the back end, DL is perfect, etc.......as long as you can repeat what you are doing in that pic I wouldn't change a thing.
Maybe a little too much palm touching the bow and it looks like in that last picture your turning a turd.....
Frank Belgium.....
Thanks Frank.
Yep I know about the palm..I shoot witha low wristgrip. It just feel right for me.

It used to be that archers were taught to use a high or medium-wrist grip when holding the bow, but if the grip on your bow will allow it you should hold a low wrist.

Now about that turd comment?
Don't have meopen a big can of SMACK DOWN on ya. J/K
John, I agree with RJ, looks really good. Maybe, a tweek in the grip but looks really good. Maybe the release could be shortened a tad, I can't tell where you finger might lay across the trigger.
Keep up the great work...
And for the record...the second pic is more intimidating than the third. [8D]

Thanks all for the comments, they are all welcome. Rob, I have actually been experimenting with the release length, it feels pretty good now and my finger lays on the trigger right about in the middle. I'll keep tweaking it.
That's my old "can I see some ID" bouncer look for the old days working the clubs in Chicago.

Thanks RJ...I appreciate your input. Yep, you guessed it. I've never had any coaching and all I do is hunt no competition (does it really show?)[&:].
I feel that I have solid anchor points and I'm able to repeat them even in different shooting positions so I'm sticking with them. I feel pretty comfortable and my shootings been pretty good....well for me.
Thanks all and keep the suggestions comming.....nice ones.
How's BigJ's Form?
