Some people do anchor further back and shoot really well(even some pros), but being high like that is not good.

Your grip hand angle is nice. I like the minimal placement on the handle, but you have alot of tension in your hand and fingers still. Let your fingers fall down. Open/straight fingers= not good. It makes it easy to torque the bow left and right.

You seem like you have good posture and shoulder position as well.
When I was looking at the photos myself it looked kind of odd having my release up high. I've been shooting that way the past 5 years and its such a habit. Ill try working on it.

kdtanner228, I have the madness and I love it. I bought it right in the middle of deer season and only practiced with it for like a week and ended up shooting two deer with it the first weekend I had it. Its pretty much my dream bow. I agree it is very light. And it pretty quiet and shoots fast too.
