    Anchor point(s) when shooting a bow

    I always anchor the first knuckle of my index finger to my cheekbone. It's very comfortable and consistent for me, and I'm a pretty good shot for being less experienced than most.

    Where do you anchor at, and why?

    I make a L with my hand and put my thumb on my hair line on the back of my head and my pointer finger knuckle directly under my ear lobe. My nose touch the string just barely

      when I switched to a release aid a couple of decades ago I went with a kisser button.

      the backside of my thumb and index finger touches my cheek, but it is not something I think about at all.

        Index knuckle tucked into that valley under my ear and nose on the string. I also lock my elbow (bone on bone)

            Same here, and I shoot a Carter thumb release which I rotate 90 degrees so the back of my hand is against my ear. This puts my forearm on top of my upper arm and gives m a really solid anchor.

              I always anchor pretty close to where I'm fishin'. Sorry, couldn't help myself.
