Default RE: Yes, another form thread.

I tend to stay away from "how's my form" threads because unless you have all the views needed, they can be a little misleading.

The best view is looking straight down on top of you at full draw. This can be done with a long mirror on an angle mounted above you and the camera looking up at the mirror behind you. Not the easiest to do, but IMO gives the most important form view. That view along with side and rear views can give an overall picture of what's going on.

Having said that, I will say that I don't ever like to see a drawing forearm that is angled below parallel with the arrow shaft. Either parallel with the arrow shaft or above seems to work well, but when your forearm is below the arrow shaft (like yours) it usually indicates the draw (or release) is set too long.
