Who uses a second anchor point?

Who uses a second anchor point and what do you use? I've been experimenting with middle finger in the corner of mouth as usual and cock feather in which makes a hen feather touch the tip-off my nose. I shoot split finger. It has improved my groups tremendously. I have 4 of 6 arrows literally touch within a 3 inch circle at 20 yards and the other 2 right on the edge. I'm going to stick with it for a while.
Anyone else use a second anchor?

I shoot three finger under and I have my index at my eye tooth/ corner of my mouth, cock feather touch my once and my knuckle of my thumb touching the back corner of my jaw.
So I guess I have three anchors....

I use the same points as you. once you get use to it, it's really second nature.

Everybody should have at least two. I use my pointer finger on my eye tooth and my thumb knuckle where my ear meets my jaw. I tried the feather on my nose thing but it didn't mesh well with my release.

I anchor with thumb knuckle at base of ear and cock feather touching my nose. Helps with consistency.

I shoot three fingers under. The index finger is at the corner of the mouth and the thumb knuckle is positioned behind my jawbone.
With some set-ups an arrow feather touches my nose. Depends upon the bow I'm using and the orientation of the nock.

For an anchor I'd also suggest anchoring on a tooth or bone rather than a fleshy spot. Its easy to incorporate if a tooth if you're already using the corner of your mouth.
