    I used to have 7 anchor points.




    One for Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday, Friday, Saturday, and Sunday. I think I might have two for Sunday.... so maybe that is 8.

      (3) Nose on the fletching

      It forces you into the same alignment, and head position every time.

      Rick,

      You must have huge hands to have a finger on your tooth and thumb knuckle under the jaw.

      I moved my anchor from middle finger to corner of mouth to thumb knuckle in corner of the jaw. I started hitting my lip with the string when using the corner of my mouth after switching from canted bow to straight up and down. Cock feather touches my nose after switching.

      However, I can't do both of those anchors at the same time.

        Ever think that you might just have a huge face?

        I just tried it to see if I could do it and I can. I'll keep doing what I'm doing but I was curious.

            I played around today trying some different stuff and can't do it. But mine are consistent finally with middle finger at the corner of my mouth and thumb knuckle under my jawbone.

              That's the reason I've been searching for better anchor points except that I don't cant the bow as I'm horribly inconsistent when I try it. I was hitting my lip and the side/tip of my nose enough that it caused me to flinch when I released.
