Title: Help
Post by: stuckum on June 26, 2009, 07:07:00 AM

The other day i went out for a round of 3-d and as I was shooting I noticed that the string was starting to hit my nose and man it hurts. I have been shooting for a while now and I have never had this problem. I have tried to repositing my anchor point turn my head a little but nothing feels comfortable. You all got any suggestion what I am doing wrong?

I get this from time to time too. It is a mechanical error of turning rather than tilting my head at anchor. I have finally discovered why this happens and have corrected it after the loss of some skin on my nose.

You might be turning your head to get to your anchor. Try tilting your head to the same angle as you cant your bow. Tilting, rather than turning, gets your eye directly over the arrow and will get you to your anchor without your nose in the way.

Tilt, don't turn.
I hope this helps.
Joe
