Is my anchor position too high (pictures) or peep sight too low

Firstly apologies to those of a nervous disposition because unpleasant pictures follow!

Prompted by my inability to reach 80M on a setup that should to be able to I have started to wonder if my peep sight is too low (currently 135MM from Knock) hence my anchor too high.

My peep is currently 135mm from the top of the lower knock, my anchoring is shown below:



I tried moving the peep up by 10mm. It felt awful, I grouped much worse, but my sight scale moved up by 7mm which was good. The trouble is I don't know if the awful feel and grouping was unfamiliarity. The picture with the raised peep is shown below (although I confess it doesn't look much different it felt very odd)



Some questions:

1) What distance do others generally have their peep from the top of their knock?
2) Does my anchor look too high?
3) While the picture is there any comments on the draw length.

NB if the pictures cause too much offence I will swap with orland bloom and kiera knightly when i've had feedback.
