O.K. just how short am I?
I knew something wasn't right with my shooting during the bowseason. I made some changes in my form and the problem immediately came to light. My drawlength is too short! Now, I get to figure by how much. I say 1 1/4, maybe a little more. What do you guys think?

I would start with a 1/2" but I feel you will seea problem with the release if you go longer,you will most likely need to shorten it because I really don't see you being able to anchor the release hand on you face if you don't.
That form sure has come a long way,good job.
You may also try a little more headforward approach as well,just to se if you can hit the anchors and see how it feels.
You are at a point where tweaking little things to test and see what works best for you can be extremely helpfull.
This is kind of what I am talking about.

. BTW the release is going bye-bye and soon. The strap is adjusted as short as it will go.

Doegirl, could you get us a picture of your draw when you're wearing a tighter t-shirt ???
just to see your elbow !!!!
Maybe you're stretching your arm a little, bending it might get your anchor closer to the string ?
I had the same problem and like Tfox says, it takes a lot of shooting and getting some form before these things show up and can be dealt with.....
I posted some pics on a thread in the tech section about my sexy body.....you can go and look, might be helpful
Ow by the way, is that a new hairdo ?

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...
