I would agree with really short bows and long draw lengths it is difficult to get the string to touch the tip of your nose. With a short draw length it is possible, I do it. You just have to change the way your hand anchors to your face. And the string may not perfectly bisect the corner of our mouth. However you should pay attention to where it touches your face as well as the arrow. If nothing is touching your face I think you will have a hard time being consistant since you will have no real reference points to draw to. Given the choice I would forgo touching my nose to the string and keep my head straight and level.

You are shooting a protec with a 37 inch ATA, I don't think proper form should be a problem if the bow is set up properly.

Here are some pics of me and my girlfriend. Not perfect, but it will give you an idea of what I am talking about. I'm not standing on level ground either which doesn't help.

Here is Nikki, the wind was blowing and her hair is all messed up. If she finds out I posted this pic she will kill me I think.



This is me:



These are both around 30 inch ATA bows, allbeit at shorter draw lengths. Mine is 26 inches and hers is around 25 inches.

The truth is you can shoot a bow any way you want as long as it's repeatable shot after shot. But look at your pics and then look at mine and ask yourself which looks more comfortable at full draw or to do all day all long Remember if you change anything it will feel odd and wrong at first because you are not use to it. Blind bail shooting will help this.

I do not pay much attention to where my release hand touches my face anymore. I concentrate on using referance points with the string and arrow. If you shoot different bows and releases all the time it changes from set up to set up. And the string should lightly touch your face, not be digging in to it.
