Honestly, even if someone else here posts otherwise, I wouldn't change a thing unless you really want to get into competitive shooting. Your grip could be tweaked a tiny bit but it's not necessary for what you do with a bow andI really think everything looks pretty darn good. It's unusual for a guy of your size to be coordinated enough to really setup consistently in good form but you really look VERY good for someone that hasn't worked with a coach. You havegreat repeatable reference pointson the back end, DL is perfect, etc.......as long as you can repeat what you are doing in that pic I wouldn't change a thing.

Maybe a little too much palm touching the bow and it looks like in that last picture your turning a turd.....

Yep I know about the palm..I shoot witha low wristgrip. It just feel right for me.
It used to be that archers were taught to use a high or medium-wrist grip when holding the bow, but if the grip on your bow will allow it you should hold a low wrist.
Now about that turd comment?
Don't have meopen a big can of SMACK DOWN on ya. J/K

Me too Matt...the best.[:-]
John, I agree with RJ, looks really good. Maybe, a tweek in the grip but looks really good. Maybe the release could be shortened a tad, I can't tell where you finger might lay across the trigger.
Keep up the great work...
And for the record...the second pic is more intimidating than the third. [8D]

I feel that I have solid anchor points and I'm able to repeat them even in different shooting positions so I'm sticking with them. I feel pretty comfortable and my shootings been pretty good....well for me.
Thanks all and keep the suggestions comming.....nice ones.
