Since everyobody else is doing it ...................
I know these posts are probably getting old, but I just bought my first bow, a Hoyt ViperTec, and was wondering how my form and draw length lookedto you guys.
As for the way I am gripping my bow in the picture, I have corrected that.

well in just looking at your pic....your grip looks way too tight (unless your hand is just always red).... that is about all the input i can give...maybe your release is too long...looks a lot longer then mine and most everyone said it was too long..
which hoyt is that?

First thing I noticed is that you are at full draw with a nocked arrow.....unless you are aming at a target, I would never (NEVER) draw my bow back with a nocked arrow indoors! Oh, I think the form looks good!

draw looks long to me...hips are forward and you are bending back...my buddy shoots the same way...almost looks like he is dancing...he hits full draw and swings his hips forward and leans way back...id say shorten up the draw an inch and see how that feels...then post another pic...

Yeah you're leaning backward and that indicates to long a draw. Your shoulders need to be more over your hips. Your draw line looks pretty straight thru from this angle, looks good.
I would never ever draw my bow WITHOUT AN ARROW NOCKED in the house or not.

Ok, here is another picture.I used another release that I have and it makes my draw length feel shorter, so here it is. I hope it is an improvement over the other one!!!!

i like the form. but i would switch to a better release. one that is more adjustable in the cable area. just from the pic, the one you use, looks like a cobra model. i use a scott wildcat, i can adjust at the wrist and adjust my bows draw length to make it as comfortable as possible when shooting. i see you shoot a hoyt,you can't change the draw length very easy on those. i do believe an adjustable release could help with having to pull so far back. over pulling, to keep a draw length, will lead to misses in the field. here is a link for an example of one:
