I recently switched to a diagonal four fletch and the back of the top left feather touches nicely on the tip of my nose.
I definitely found an improvement by adding the fletch on nose anchor. I also switched to canting the bow at the same time and the fletch on my nose puts my right eye directly over the arrow as well.
It's A&A fletch with the back exactly 1 inch in front of the bottom of the nock groove or the string.

Through trial and ERROR over 3 years I ended up with exactly what McDave describes and boy what a difference. Now I canc just relax and shoot.

A 'double anchor' is what brought my shooting full circle years ago.

To me a double or triple anchor is definately a good thing. Not only has it resolved potential head position issues (up/down and left/right) but it also helps me double check my back tension and proper release.

I like to anchor with the thumb knuckle under/behind the jaw also, but the main thing for me is to make sure that my eye is in line with the arrow. Posts: 129 | From: Bear, Delaware | Registered: Jul 2009

McDave brings up a very valid point. I was watching a HH short the other day and he was measuring a woman's draw length. He put her at anchor and measured. He never had her stick her fingers on her face at all. Once I learned to get the bow drawn to anchor the face reference points just sort of show up.

Sort of like Feefeet, Ive learned to come to my usual anchor and keep pulling till the top feather (3 fletch shields cock feather in and up a little)touches my nose. That is my trigger to let her fly...PR
