55#: I see he likes Alexander Kirollov as a coach - he was/is my coach.
The form picture shown seems to indicate a "high" wrist; but, pictures can be deceiving. I personally am a believer in more of a lower wrist which will put the elbow down further and, in many cases, negate the need for an arm guard and facilitate the action of the arm as a shock absorber. This is the method Alexander teaches and has proven to be very effective.
The bow arm style shown, IMO, has been prevalent in tournament archery, but seems to be changing somewhat for the method I mentioned.
Other than my preference of bow arm positioning, and based on only one photo dimension, the form of the archer in the picture looks good.

Yeah, I like the low wrist style myself, It allows your body to conserve energy dually needed. I had problem's with a high shoulder, when I first started Olympic style, Its so totally different from compound and it takes getting used to. But I enjoy every moment of shooting my recurve, although I can be a little hard on myself sometimes, when having a bad shooting day. Good shooting.

55#recurve - Yesterday I shot my bow a little, and at first I was shooting like I have been lately, canting the bow pretty hard. Yep, my shoulder immediately groaned. I then switched back to more of an Olympic style, bow just slightly canted and sure enough, that forced my shoulder much lower, and I even noticed that my socket would rotate as well. Ya'll might have helped me out on this quite a bit ....
I'll post those pics this morning for you ...
