Default RE: OK how's MY form? :-)

Looks like you really have the front shoulder loaded,ALOT, and it is working up on you.I personally can't shoot like that but whatever works.For hunting,I like what I see,for serious target shooting,there would be some slight adjustments made if you were to see a coach.
You know I was looking at my shoulder too (that's the only thing that jumped out at me too) and I think it's maybe a matter of my build and muscle mass. It's hard to tell but my bow arm shoulder is down and locked rather comfortably and isn't up high like it appears. I think if I retook the pic with a "Hunsucker" gun shirt on you'd see what I mean. I have large broad rounded muscular shoulders and it's hard to get that front side down and out of the way entirely.
I'd take another with a cutoff shirt on but I wouldn't want to get Hunsucker all hot and bothered.
Since this is my 3D rig too and not a spot shooting bow I purposely keep the draw length down about 1/2-2/3 of an inch with modules and loop just to be able to comfortably "Stay behind" severe up and downhill shots. If I get that perfect level ground stance I wind up too stretched out on angled shots and lose that proper back tension.

Maybe I'll snap another with no sleeves so you can see what that shoulder is really doing. (Quick somebdy call Hunseucker to the gun show!)
