Yeah I would agree that the draw might be a little long, that might be why you are leaning back.

Draw length is too long. Shorten it up and your wrist will come in line and you'll have your back straighter.

Really do whatever feels COMFORTABLE. Why you asking anyways? Are you shooting bad? Or do you want to look good for the cameras in the woods.

I wouldn't be so quick to say it's way too long just yet...

We need a way better picture to really help, and from a couple different angles.

I'd suggest working on bottoming out your front shoulder, and if you extend your arm more, it may make up for what appears to be an excessive dl initially. Most coaches and top shooters suggest a straighter arm, which is more repeatable without inducing fatigue earlier. Let your arm fall naturally to the side; this will be more of the position of what you're looking for when your raise it. Again, keep your front shoulder from riding up on you, stand up straight and balance your upper torso directly over your hips.

THEN it'll be easier to start making some additional corrections.

Take a look at the guys at some of the early "advanced" shooters who posted in this thread...

well this is one of my first post in awhile and well i just would like to know how my form look... and i have been bowhunting for three years going on four and i would just like to know. if my form is right.and it looks like i am crooked but that isjust my camerea is kinda crooked set.and sorry for bad picture was taken with my phone

I think the pic is deceiving, and I'm not sure your DL IS too long. How tall are you??? Your bow arm actually looks more bent than most peoples, which may help you gain a little also, a medium high wrist grip will extend you out a small amount as well. Greg is SPOT ON, the rest of these jokers are looking only at your head, and not at your arm. If the trees grow STRAIGHT up there like they do here, you're not leaning, it's just the camera angle...
