The first thing you need to do is shorten the release by atleast a 1/2" to 1" if possible.This will help get your hand on your face for a more solid anchor and allow your finger to wrap over the trigger to apply slow pressure to release the shot rather than punching.




Then you need to learn how to stand up straight.You will most likely need to use a full length mirror and watch yourself at full draw and start to leatn the "feel" of it.At first it will feel like you are leaning forward on your front leg but it won't take long to understand this is actually even weight distribution.


You MAY find your draw length to be too long after the release is shortened but DO NOT judge your draw length by your lean.That is not why you are leaning.



May I also suggest to completely forget about the peep and kisser untill all adjustments to form and anchor have been made.You might even find the kisser is completely unecessary after you have fixed your problems.Then you can readjust the peep.

Here are a couple videos that will help.The only thing I will add to the first video is that you need to bring the elbow up after have you done what he shows untill it makes solid contact on the face for your primary anchor.

You will want to be something like this when finished.Of course,you may not do things exactly like I do but this is a good base to start from.
