Need to relax your bow hand. You're leaning into it...your head is tilted forward and all your weight appears to be on your forward leg.....well, not all but you're shifted forward, toward the target. You almost look like an "S."

I think you worry too much.........That thing should practically shoot itself.
Go have fun with it and when the time comes I am sure you will be PLENTY capable of killing a deer.

I can get as crazy as you want but I'll be nitpicking........![Wink](https://www.huntingnet.com/forum/images/smilies/wink.gif)
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.![Wink](https://www.huntingnet.com/forum/images/smilies/wink.gif)
There's other stuff but a proper anchor is most important of the issues from what I see.
