Go through Matt / PA's "form" thread pinned to the top and look at the advanced shooters, and compare their pics to yours. You should notice a few differences.

Nope, shoot it so you are shooting straight like at a 3d not outta a tree stand then we could see better. Look straight ahead not down. Also i agree you draw seems a bit short but actually not so bad in the pic you just posted. Measure your wing span and use this then youll know if you havethe right draw. http://www.yeoldearcheryshoppe.com/drawlength.php WCL
Yeah I measured my draw length at the archery shop and it was 31 inches. The bow is set to 30 inch draw...the maximum it will go cause I don't think Bowtech makes 31 inch draw for the General. I also put the string loop on too so that makes it a bit longer.

I always wonder how people feel that proper form can be seen from still photo's. Granted, a couple things can be checked.

Hmm well that sucks. You should be shottin it at 30.5 or 31 cuz your lopp doesnt really matter. Its all from you ancor point forward/your bow arm that needs the draw. The best thing you could prolly do is move that kisser back right tight to your string loop. That will give you another 1/2 inch about. Other than that I guess you'll just have to deal with it being short unless you switch to a diff bow. WCL

Noah, I agree your draw length does look short. I am curious, what is the measurement of your arm span? Middle finger to middle finger when you are backed up to a wall extending your arms out against the wall at right angles to your body.

You definitely got the reach!!

Dan, I will measure it tonight and let you know. WCL also said to put my kisser down towards my loop and that might help.

It might help it might not. You may run into sight and peep troubles if you get to low on the string. Depends on how much your sight can be adjusted. WCL
