Default Opinions please?

Aside from a few 3d shoots earlier this year before it got hot, I havent really touched my bow, let alone shoot much. Its a few months from hunting season, so it's time to make sure I havent grown yet again (already 6'5"), and that my bow still fits my properly. I noticed that my grip is inconsistant, but its from the delay on my camera not giving me enough time to fully relax. The close up is a better indication of grip, as I was holding the weight of the bow for about 5 seconds.

Last year I hunted with a BT release, and this year I'm going to use a caliper index finger release exclusively. Does my draw and form look good?

And yes, I know my shirt is filthy, hard working fences on the ranch at 95 degrees, just look at the sunburn[8D]

Almost looks as if your draw is about a half inch to long. Could just be me though. If it feels good then it looks like you should be ok. One suggestion though. On the second picture you can see that your left foot is to far inward. Open your stance a little to make sure you have arm clearence in release. Plus, this makes your draw length feel more comfortable and open, not like stretching to keep it in the valley.
