short on draw and it looks like your arrow is about to fall off the rest,I cant see the tip,or very very little of it....or maybe its my eyes but it looks like you could add 3/4 to a inch on you arrow lenght...

. The arrow is flush with the face (ie sight side) of the bow. Just can't see it. Thanks for your concern, though.

I'm also in favor of trying a longer draw length. Form looks good. Try extending the draw length to where the string just touches the tip of your nose - ie. a secondary anchor point. A Short N' Sweet release in conjunction with a very short D loop would allow you to anchor at a good spot on your face, even with the longer draw.

RE: O.K. just how short am I?
I agree that the bow is too short. However, I like how the wrong arm (drawing left handed LOL) aligns with the arrow shaft. I think that's about the best I've ever seen.
Picking on one or two things at a time I'd say the bow is about an inch too short, but you should get a release (you already know) with a much shorter head to help keep that arm alignment. Then do some tweaking from there.
Like I said, one thing at a time.

I'm shooting wrong handed. The arrow is flush with the face (ie sight side) of the bow. Just can't see it. Thanks for your concern, though.

I think I'd just slap a string loop on there,switch to a Scott Little Bitty Goose release and call it good.

Yes, you are certainly short on the DL. TFOX, I'm just trying to understand what you're talking about....Do you mean for her to lean her head into the string?

Yes,just slightly but do it before drawing but I am just saying to try it to see how it feels,AND WORKS,because the form is solid and the draw is already set,just see what happens.I have tried many different variations and am starting to get a form back after a layoff that I like.I also feel her head could should be slightly more forward than it is now but whatever works at this point will most likely be best,imo.
It works for cousins,it may work for her.
