You are shooting with a locked bow arm - that is fine if its comfortable to you and the string does not hit it.

You are leaning your uper body and head back a little. The positon of the string on your face is a tad long - but sometimes that is needed with a short axle to axle bow to get your nose to touch the string.

IMO you can shorten it up an inch, position your upper body straighter, then you would be dead on

But it is not bad as it is

Good Luck

IMO you're closer to 28" than 30".

I think rack-attack is right on.At either rate, 30" just looks too long IMO.

I agree. I think 29" would be a good length for you. You do appear to be leaning back some. With the draw shortened an inch, you should be able to starighten the upper body, and be more stable. Also, the #2 modules draw allot nicer than the #1s, IMO.

Just to clarify. You're anchor looks an inch long and your elbow looks locked out. I'd say 1.5 inches too long easy.

Come on Len, lets hear it, don't be shy.

I'll guess 1/2 inch too long For me 1/2 inch makes a big difference. Look into getting a 29.5 inch mod for your Liberty from your dealer to try maybe before you buy.

I will throw another two cents into the mix....I agree that you are a tad too long. I typically recommend a slightly bent elbow at full draw. It looks like your elbow is locked out at full draw so putting a slight bend in your bow arm would shorten the draw length a bit. Plus, your head (and somewhat your upper body) looks to be bent back a bit. This also is typically a sign of too long a draw length.

I would shorten it up to 29 inches...bend your elbow slightly and then take a few more pics to see how your form shapes up.
