I agree with Ausie and TFOX in that your draw length may not be too bad. What I think the problem is, is your kisser. I think it'sin the wrong position. In order to get the kisser in the corner of your mouth you are actually having to pull your head back thus leaning back when you don't need to do that. The end of the string can come back as far as the corner of your eye, yours is still pretty far forward, in other words you have room to tilt your head forward but the kisser is stopping you from doing that!

Try this: Take the kisser off, close your eyes and draw till it feels comfortable, get your head level and that string closer to your nose. Then open your eyes. Adjust your peep so it's in line when you open,then re-install yourkisser (if you want to) and you won't be leaning your head back anymore. I also noticed that your sight is all the way at the bottom. Ever wonder why? It's because your peep is in the wrong position on the string, your peep is there because that's the only position you can see through it when you anchor that far away from the string. Your anchoring that far away from the string because your kisser in stopping you from putting your head forward where it should be. I bet you never thought thewrong positioning of a kisser could cause such problems eh?

Also when you begin to re-sight in your bow, start with the pins centered in the sight window. Move the entire window to acquire yourmiddle yardagepin.In other words if you shoot three pins 20-30-40, thencenter the 30 yard pin in the middle of the sight windowand move the entire sight up or down till you're hitting dead on at 30. Then adjust your 20 and 40 yard pins individually. This will ensure your pins will be in the center of the the sight window and you will have a clearer view.

You really don't need a kisser it's kinda redundant with a peepbut if you feel more comfortable with one, put it back on. But I really do think that's what's screwing you up.
WOW! I didn't know that a kisser button could cause such problems!
Thank you!!! I'll take that kisser off and do what you said. Thanks again!

Also ,when adjusting the form,forget about looking through the peep,you can adjust it later,AFTER the form is fixed.
