Anchor Point

[EnglishRedneck]

Where do you guys anchor?
Index to corner of mouth? Middle finger to mouth? Under the chin? Cheekbone? Love to see pics of your styles!

Watch the two recaps on the Tx. traditional championship and the recurve championship and you can see plenty of pic showing various anchor points.

Here's the link to a rather exhaustive discussion on this same subject a few weeks ago.

I use my pointer finger in the corner of my mouth and the fletching on my nose.

I have a spot exactly 2.4 inches from my face that I release at

As Redneck82 has stated, I too anchor with my finger in the corner of my mouth and touch the feather to my nose. I, however, use my middle finger which leads to the shocking conclusion that Mr. Redneck82 must have a longer nose than I. He might even smell better . The reason for the feather touching the nose is to prevent creep and to provide a more consistent anchor. When I incorporated that into my style, it improved my shooting noticeably.

Thanks for the link - I'd done a search for "anchor" but not "anchoring"!! Ever notice how Fred Bear always looks like Freddy Kruger in that pic?

He might even smell better

No because mine is always stuffed up due to be allergic to EVERY tree in Texas!!

I shoot 3 under with index finger touching corner of my mouth, fletching touching my nose, string across bridge of nose and eyebrow. I aim by looking between the string and the riser. I also hold the bow straight instaed of canting.

I shoot split finger with my pointer at the corner of my mouth.

I draw with three finger, 2 under and 1 over. Middle finger to the corner of the mouth.

Middle finger to a tooth.

I shoot 2 under and put my "bad finger " in the corner of my mouth.
