As far as I can tell, this is the most appropriate section for this sort of thing. If not, I'd be grateful if a kindly moderator could move it

Donned some thermals and a hat yesterday afternoon on getting home from work and got my wife to take a few pics of me at full draw. Any constructive criticism of my form is welcome (and any funny comments too):

Wear tighter jeans next time (and remember the colour should be green or white)

Excellent form, John! I wish mine looked like that.

I assume the left eye's closed because it's your dominant eye. That's what Don Rabska does, so no bad thing.

Errr. That's what happens when you lose weight and your jeans slip a bit after belting on your quiver.

As for the colour, I'll exercise my right to wear whatever colour clothes I please while I shoot, unless forced to do otherwise

All looks good to me. At first I did think that your bow arm was perhaps a little low (photo 3), but you are aiming slightly downwards which accounts for it.

Grass need a cut though.

Thank you, very kind

My left eye closes because it just does that. I'm actually very right-eye dominant because my left eye has no central vision.

Yes it does. As soon as it's a bit warmer, I'll see to that.

And thanks

No criticism - looks fine. Good enough for a 1250 anyway
