So far, all the advice seems to be the same. Never realized was so out of wack (well at least with my bow/form.)
I do appreciate it all. I am going to change some of this up and see if it helps. I will post some new picturesonce I get this all changed, probably in a week or two.
What I'd love to see is some pictures of proper form. Where myhand should be and what my wrist should be like. I'm also going to snap some of me shooting my Hoyt and see what the difference is.
Edited to add: Not sure on my wingspan. I'm just under 6 foot so my wingspan should be right around there. I had to order this bow so I went to a dealer and had them size me up. He seemed to have a big attitude that I wasn't buying it from there and to be honest, once I got the bow, I drove by his place everytime I went to set this bow up at another dealer. Never went back (and now I'm thinking for good reason.)
Thanks again guys.

it would help to have a picture from your open side, your back side (lord i know how that sounds), and above from behind you- all while you're at full draw aiming at a target at shoulder height. rickjames has some excellent pics of good form on here, and tfox has a lot too - of top shooters form.

to add a bit, this is something, plus video, that many archers do on a monthly basis. been too long for me. it helps not to let bad habits get too ingrained, + form always evolves and you have to decide if its changing for the better or worse.

Hey, I have those same shoes. Doesn't form start from the feet up? Maybe I'm doing something right. 
I really do appreciate the help. I'm going to search on the those guys and see if I can find them.
