I can get as crazy as you want but I'll be nitpicking........
One of themain things I don't like is your anchor. Too long of a loop combined with too long of a release barrel (trigger to jaw relationship)
What type of release is that?
The thing that gives it away immediately for me is your release hand knuckles. Your index knuckle is in line with your earlobe and then they drift back from there.....that's too far back IMO.
You need a little shorter loop combined with a loop specific release to bring your anchor forward and down onto your jawline where it belongs.
Your bow's actual draw length is probably the correct fit for you but the way you are using it IMO isn't.
Is your sight aperture drifted down toward the bottom of the housing rather than closer to the center? This can in part be attributed to a high anchor caused by where you HAVE TO anchor. The farther you go back the higher you have to go to find something to anchor to.
Where you will really notice this stretched out draw / rearward anchor is shooting from or to elevation.........you need to bring it forward which will allow you to stay behind the shot more consistently in every body position and angle.
IF you're shooting fine and you're happy with that?..........but you asked.
There's other stuff but a proper anchor is most important of the issues from what I see.

I am shooting fine, but its winter, there are four months until turkey season so I may as well work on my form. I can hunt fine with my form the way it is, everyone is right, but I'm trying to better myself as an archer as well as a bowhunter.

RE: New bow; Form.
things like this post confuse me. WH this bow is used for hunting not competitive shooting...u are not going to get to have your form perfect when drawing back on a deer and especially not from a turkey.....things that need to be constant in my opinion...your left arm, your right eye, and your right hand...keep those constant and no matter what angle your bow is at in the field you will shoot well........
your jeans are a little faded too..

As I said in my reply to Matt, I realize that I can effectively kill deer with my form the way it currently is. I posted a picture of a group I shot this morning earlier today, its not where I'd like it to be yet, but its getting there. I'm trying to better myself as an archer, not just as a bowhunter.
The ladies dig the faded jeans, don't knock it.
