Boy, those who know me would never believe I'll say this but:

Your draw length is substantially too short. No arrow nock, but the string ooks like it could be drawn back about 1/2" more so the nock would be right under the eye. Couple that with a drawing arm that is bent way too much and I'd say you could be about 2" too short.

I'm not a fan of the "bent elbow". I'd rather see a straight bow arm, but not locked. Bone to bone contact is much more steady than using muscles to hold the bow.


Bow hand seems a little tense in the fingers, but not too bad. The trigger of the release appears to be at the finger tip. Shorten the release so the trigger is in the first joint of the trigger finger. The loop is too long. It only needs to be long enough that the release doesn't hit the nock when hooked to the string.

Left shoulder is down. That's good. The right shoulder is too high due to a high anchor. For the same reason your right elbow is very high You could lower your anchor closer to the chin. That would help your upper body form more of a "T". It would also lower your right hand to about the bottom of your ear lobe. Of course you'd have to raise the peep accordingly.

I don't know why this is the only position where you can see through the peep. The peep is moveable.

NOW, if you want to get real nit-picky then go over on www.archerytalk.com and look up a guy named "Nut&Bolts". Ask him the same question and see what kind of response you get. He's got a regular thing going on form with lots of pictures so you can compare.
