I can't wait to try this!

Seems interesting might have to try this.

looks like a simple way to work without a gap on normal hunting distances

It seems to me that in order for this to work, your anchor has to be independent of the arrow.  For example, if your anchor is the cock feather of your arrow touching your nose, I don't think that moving your grip down the string is going to have the desired result, since you're just going to be holding the string lower rather than moving the arrow up closer to your eye.  Is my thinking correct on this?  I suppose I should just go out and try it, huh!

McDave, You'd have to have the anchor in the same place on your face and forego the feather on the nose trick. It is basically sringwalking with one crawl down to reduce your point on distance.

[Diamond Paul]

Yes, it is stringwalking with only one crawl for one distance range.  You won't be able to maintain the feather to the nose.  D. Martin also did a vid on this, but he moves his thumb down to a certain mark on his tab (a screw head or something), holds it there, then slides the tab down to his thumb, just as a stringwalker would do in FITA field for a prescribed distance.

Great point and great responses. I'm going to try this. I've had trouble aiming low and this will solve my problem...Hopefully.

It's what I do but...

If you tune without a crawl, you're arrows may fly stiff with the crawl if it's too large.

My recipe is to use long arrows (mine are full length) and the highest anchor I can comfortable shoot to minimize my gaps to start with. Then my crawl is small and doesn't have much effect on tune.

A little tweaking of brace height and string silencer size/location was enough to dial things right in.
