    After just shooting my bow for whatever felt comfortable for the past few years I have decided to really start tweaking my form. Attached are two images. The first one is how I have been shooting, the second one is how I think I should be adjusting. I am 6'3" with a 30" draw on my bow. In looking at the second image, I think that my DL is too short and I need another inch. Any other suggestions on either form?

    current form:

    what I think I should look like:

    bow hand looks to be too vertical... turn your elbow out so the hand is about 45 deg. when holding the bow (fingers pointing down more), you want the bow resting in the fat muscle below yer thumb... next.. lower yer draw elbow... holding too high so not in line with bow arm... yes... draw looks to be a bit short... longer will allow the elbow to come down some and get that string back to your nose...
