I stand straight. leaning forward makes your head come to the string and you end up short drawing. In fact, these days, I have been leaning back just a tad to make sure I am at full draw. Its very easy to short draw up to 2" and you will see it in the flight of your arrow

I like the G. Fred Asbell style of shooting which is bent knees and sort of leaning into it.

I'm assuming you mean lean forward. And yes, I like to lean into the shot towards the target just a bit but hardly noticeable. It seems to make the follow through a bit cleaner.

Head straight andhitting a true full draw,with body and bow canted. (No craned neck, stunted drawbit.) Keeps me from smacking my bicep or elbowwith the bowstring. Varying degrees are more versatile as well in hunting applications.
