RE: Is my dl too long
zac first of all your bow shop should never tell you to lean back! try reducing your draw length from 1/4 to 1/2.bring your anchor pt down to were your index finger is below your ear or at the bottom of your jaw bone.your release hand looks to tense,try just touching the top two fingers to the riser instead of the bottom two.to dangerous to put a broadhead on were your arrow sets that close to the prongs on your rest!try shortening your release aid to were you can bend your finger slightly over the trigger to were it touches at the first or second crease in your finger.relax your fingers and bow hand and just stay focused on the spot dont try to fight the pin and loosen up your wrist strap and follow through.let your bow fall forward and your release hand come back after the shot.make sure you have enough wt on the front of the bow.it takes time so be patient and practice your follow through at a close distance till you get that right in the begining.if you have not got much help by a good video and tape yourself to check your form out. good luck---thats just my suggestions but remember opionons vary.

forgot to suggest one more thing about your peep.draw your bow with your eyes closed dont move your head--bring the bow to you and when anchored were you want to be open your eyes the peep should be lined up were you want it each time.

I agree with Len.
Another problem I see "if" you are aiming at something on the ground you have lowered your bow arm that is wrong always tryand keep a "T" with your upper body.
Instead of lowering your bow arm bend at the waist.
so if shooting down pull your hips away from the target and if you are shooting up hill push your hips towards the target.
