Anchor Point Pain

[BCR1985]

Hi guys,

I have been playing with my anchor point and draw style in an attempt to find my sweet spot. However, what I've been noticing is that upon release the string is striking my lip or cheek with some authority. This has invariably screwed up my shooting and now my subconscious has me flinching at the release; making matters worse. My anchor used to be arrow nock at eye level while cupping the back of my ear between thumb and index finger. I've also tried anchoring at the corner of the mouth, but don't feel as accurate or consistent. Any suggestions? What have y'all heard about Rick Welch's school?

That is quite far back on your face for an anchor.  Moving it forward some might help. What had you done before?  

Regardless, turning your head more toward the target will probably eliminate the string contact with the side of your face.
