The only thing that jumps right out is that it looks like you need to shorten the release. Your drawing elbow is ever so slightly down. I think you could add about 1/2" to the bow's draw length, and just lower your anchor to keep the nose on the string---just a bit--not radical.

I'd try turning the bow hand out a bit, but it looks relaxed as is. Form isn't really too bad. Just a little fine tuning.

I see alot of photos where the release hand isnt' anchored at all. Is this becoming more common? I guess i come from the "you got to have a good anchor point" school of thought from finger releasing.

Actually, I anchor with my index knuckle right under my ear lobe, in the back corner of my jaw bone. Its a little hard to see in the picture

I guess as long as you are comforable with that anchor point, that will work. For me, I would get get a new release to pull you 1" closer. But thats me. Reason I want my anchor to be closer is, it lets me follow thru with my release. If I am already pulled back to my max, its hard for me to follow thru.

Some of those style releases are easy to shorten. If it has a threaded rod inside you can just cut the rod and the outter shell or hose to fit. I usually shorten mine because I don't like to have to reach for the trigger. That bow looks good on you, have fun shooting
