I'd definately go a little shorter, maybe just a 1/2". Because you are VERY extended.

Yes, you are slightly overdrawn. I would recommend you going slightly shorter, perhaps a 1/2 inch and if that's not as comfortable you can always make it up with the string loop. Many people forget about the string loop when they order a bow. I shot 29" all my life through my Hoyt days. When I bought my Allegaince, knowing I would put my first string loop on it I ordered a 28.5" Allegaince...My General, I'm waiting on a 28" module and will tweak it with my string loop.

A couple things for sure even from that angle........yeah your draw length is a bit too long. Here's how I can tell:

Your bow arm is locked and almost hyperextended and uncomfortable looking and you are heeling the grip badly. Your bow arm shoulder is also rotated upward and too high (Should be down in a locked position) Your elbow should point more downward than straight out to the side........roll your shoulder down a bit and it will take the elbow with it.
You are also leaning backward quite a bit trying to fit your body behind the draw.

You are anchoring too far back. You need to shorten up the reach on that release to bring your hand more forward.

I would say you need to drop 1/2" to 1" in draw length, add a little bend and proper angle to your bow arm, and bring your hand more forward on the release.
It's hard a lot of times to tell if something is too long from one angle but in this case you are IMO definitely set up incorrectly and could use a little coaching on proper form. Like I said before that's not a slam, it's just an issue many new bowhunters run into by not knowing what things should look or feel like.

At least now I know why those cams feel like they do for you.

Drop, if not even a 3 to get a full inch and then settle in with tweaking a string loop. That should put you where you need to be.

I would agree with the #3 module.
