Actually the release elbow according to most of todays best coaches needs to be high.This allows for easier back tension release,and you need to use back tension,even with a wrist release.A wrist release will not usually allow you to get your elbow as high as a tru back tension but a little high is best.Judging from your picture,I like your release elbow position.


What concerns me most with the picture is the fact that you are gripping the release.This will make it next to impossible to get the proper release,my suggestion is to loosten up on it and start trying to use your back muscles to fire the release.


From a tournament standpoint I would suggest straightening out your bow arm but from a hunting standpoint,the bend may be necessary to clear clothing.Regardless,I believe the arm needs to be a bit straighter and completely straight for competition.


It does look to me like you are gripping the bow a little too much.I can suggest you try to rotate your hand over a bit more and this should create less torque and provide more arm clearance for clothing,allowing you to straighten out your arm a little more.


It is hard for me to tell if you are leaning back from the pictures but it doesn't look to me like you are.


Like many have stated,proper form is subject to change for each archer but there are some basics we all need to try to accomplish.What you have looks pretty good and if you are shooting as good as you want,then a change may not be in order but if you want to improve,try some of the suggestion for a while and see if they work for you.
