Just didnt shoot good at 3d and today shooting the pro class indoors I sucked as well. Just cant handle that indoor pressure. :profanity:
Have not judged any targets so it will get better.
Indoors I just dont think its going to get any better. Looks like my draw to long in these pictures.

Sorry to hear. the first pic looks more like your waist (feet) are not perpendicular to the target? maybe long by 3/8-1/2 but your not leaned back. S curved

Like myself shoot an open stance due to the big chest. Very common with some shooters today.

Play with the draw if you feel your overdrawn. I tinker alot to get mine to feel the most comfortable to me. I was coaching kids in my driveway today and didn't overthink anything I did. I just played until she felt perfect to me at that time. End of the day I put her thru the chrony and was way slower, but she felt really good and my groups were really good for me. Sometimes when we get a little flustered and we can all overthink some things we do and cause us alot of unnecassary stress. Hope you get the kinks out and let us all know how it goes for you.

Take two twists out of the cables and put 4 in the string and should shorten you around 1/4 in.
I also shoot a slightly open stance, I can't see your feet so I can't tell how open your are but it looks like you are very open. I forget who taught me this but I found my perfect stance by drawing my bow on target and settling in then closing my eyes. You then let down and draw again keeping your eyes closed. Do this 3 more times and then on the last draw open you eyes and see where your bow is aiming. If aiming left close stance, if aiming right open your stance. When you can do the above excercise and be aiming at your target on your last draw then you've found the proper stance for your style of shooting. Just something you might try.
You do look alitle long but I don't think too much. 1/4 in should do ya!

That's good advice right there! I'll have to try that next weekend when I get home, if the weather holds.
