This works for me.

I should add that I have the greatest respect for James Park's work and his books on compound setup and shooting should be part of everyones collection.

Like you say Wendy, it works for you. We are all different in makeup, so will vary in anchor points. The keyword, within reason will always be as long as whatever you do is CONSISTENT. Trouble is, that's the tricky bit.

The girl in the first picture is not having an anchor problem IMHO, she has way too long a draw length set. Having said that Wendy, watch Mike H next time you see him shoot, or look at some of the pics Trev took at the field shoot. He anchors quite a way back. He always has. He also leans back slightly at full draw, again, he always has. But consistently.
