Under chin anchor?

[SEMO_HUNTER]

Is there anything wrong with this method of drawing under my chin till the string nearly touches? I'm shooting 2 fingers under and this anchor seems a whole lot more natural to me than drawing to the corner of my mouth. I'm also looking straight over the arrow shaft this way. I tried the corner of the mouth anchor and cannot get used to it, and almost ripped the edge of my lips off a couple of times.

It seems like I'm always fighting my anchor point and I have tried different ones, but under the chin seems to be the most accurate for me so far.
Any suggestions on what anchor to use as a referrence when drawing to my chin or under my chin?      

Thanks,
SEMO

I know a Hungarian tourney shooter and he does very well with this anchor.

Everything we do is about compromise, the high anchor allows the arrow closer to the eye and helps aiming but makes it difficult to feel good back tension, when I lower my anchor as you do it's very easy to feel that back tension but like me most dont use it because they stuggle with aim, if you can make it work for you I'm quite envious as you have the best of both worlds

Thanks Zetabow. I struggled with drawing to the corner of my mouth for so long and never could make it work that I just got sick of it. I saw an article of a guy at full draw (don't remember who he was?) and he drew under his chin with the string touching his nose. I thought to myself, I'm gonna give that a shot and see what happens? My groups improved almost immediately. I'm still no Byron Ferguson by any stretch of the imagination, but for the way I struggled with it for so long it was a pleasure to finally stack 6 arrows in a 5" circle at 20 yards.
The only real drawback or change that occurred other than better grouping was my draw length, it got shorter and I went from about 28" draw to 26" draw. I actually cut about 1 1/2" off my arrows.
Since it's getting closer to bow season here less than a month away, I'm going to have to stick with what's working for me right now. I just wanted some input from you all and get your thoughts and opinions on it.

I say go with whatever works for YOU and use whatever method YOU shoot most accurately with. The deer are not going to know the difference

Well, I found out today that what works for my longbow doesn't always work for my recurve. I'm a mess I know, but since my recurve is so much shorter I have to cant the bow more to the side because the string and riser blocks my view of the target. Then when I cant the bow so I can get a good sight picture the string is no longer anywhere close to my nose.

Long story short, my longbow has developed a split/crack whatever you want to call it, around a knot that I couldn't avoid leaving in the limb so I had to quit shooting it. That was the one trouble spot that I was concerned with when I built it and now it's coming back to haunt me.
Oh well, live and learn.
At any rate, I gotta play catch up with my recurve so I can hunt with it in a few short weeks. I could always fall back on my compound, but this was going to be the year I would finally spend more time in the woods with traditional tackle and give it a fair chance.
All isn't lost though, because I was shooting some good groups with my Grizzly this evening by just drawing back to where it felt good, pointing my fist at my 3D buck and letting instinct take over like I have in the past. That seems to be working for now, and maybe I can get started on another Osage longbow fairly soon and have it finished by mid season. It sure was a nice bow while it lasted, but I didn't have high hopes when I started building it and I actually achieved what I set out to do which was build a shootable bow myself. All would have been great except for that one knot.
