Default RE: Draw length

Yeh, it's not the greatest pic, but it does appear that you may be leaning back and have your head tilted back also, due to a long draw length. I'd try shortening a full inch and see how it feels (looks). This should allow you to distribute your weight fairly evenly on both feet and keep your head level.

Try this. Stand erect, look at your intended target, and draw the bow. Anchor without moving your head at all. When the bow is set to about the correct length you should not have to move your head whatsoever. You make the bow fit you, not the other way around.

Of course you'll most likely have to lower the peep sight a bit as your head attitude will be different. Whatever changes you make the bow will definitely feel different. Give you mind and body plenty of time to adjust to the new feel. At least a couple weeks if you shoot almost daily.
