yep i agree, that is why i am listing to them and getting my DL lenthend alittle more, and the reason i have such a high peep (which i actully lowerd alittle because i closed my eyes like some one metioned to do,and the peep was high) is because my anchor point is where my nose touches the string not where my release hits my mouth.

Most are trying to get the string to touch the corner of the mouth and the end of the nose.I also lock in under my jaw bone.


The more anchors the better.


I would try some form changes and anchor adjustments BEFORE changing the draw length,you may be closer than you think.

As a matter of fact,I believe making the draw longer would be a mistake.Your problem is form,not draw length.


In the second pic,you are letting the front shoulder come up.That shoulder must load back,not up.



ALOT can be changed with form.


Check out these pictures of me with the EXACT same setup.The draw length looks different butmy form is the only thing to change.


AND,for the record,I shoot WAY better with the second pic form.





ANd the previously posted picture.

Try to Keep your elbow in line with bow arm. Try to keep every thing in a tee formation like in my picture. TFOX elbow is high. He may shoot will that way, but he pulling in a upward motion not straight back. I alway think as myself as a T and pulling straight into the hand grip not up are down on it out of line with your bow arm and shoulders and putting more presser on the heel of your hand. I thing it will help you shoot better. Sorry TFOX , but i did noticed that about your from.
