I shoot split finger, swing draw and split vision aiming where you see your arrow tip in your peripheral vision on long shots and purely instinctive out to 25 yards. Shot is made the moment I hit anchor and am on target sometimes fast sometime a second or two according to what the shot dictates. I anchor to the corner of my mouth with my thumb tucked behind my jaw with the string touching the outside of my eye.

I shoot 3 under. Rotational draw until middle finger is in or slightly behind the corner of my mouth and the feather touches my nose. No conscious aiming . I concentrate on my pre draw, anchor and follow through. I have found that I can only concentrate on 1 thing at a time And if I try to aim it short circuits my shot sequence. Aiming is subconscious but I struggle beyond 25 yds.

I pick a spot, draw with split finger draw and the middle finger to the corner of my mouth and release as I hit my anchor point, concentration where the arrow will hit.

Three under, bow up pointing at a spot on the target, square shoulders putting tension on string, middle finger to corner of mouth thumb around back of jaw, feel 'it' and release. Not always a great shot, but most often decent enough to get it done.

I shoot 3 fingers under, completely open and relaxed bow hand, rotational draw, anchor with my middle finger in the corner of my mouth, cock feather touching the tip of my nose and the my eye brow touches the string. then I aim, my gaps are so easy it’s become second nature to me, I put my point where I want, increase back tension until I almost start to pull the string further back then let my fingers go limp, keep bow arm up for 2 seconds after shot.

Split finger, middle finger in corner of mouth, but my "primary" anchor is the base of my index finger kinda behind/under my cheekbone. Rotational draw so my hand is coming from the outside then back into my face. I had some TP awhile back and found for me that a more rotational draw doesn't give me the correct sight picture telling me to "shoot!" until I've reached anchor. I struggle with overdrawing, creeping, plucking and every other malady an archer can contract, but I have a ton of fun doing it!
Here's what it looks like...

"split finger,corner of mouth anchor, concentrate on a spot, shoot.....just that simple"
Same here. I have learned a couple of things.
1. I became certified as an archery instructor and since then have become better able to analyze my own form. Teaching others makes you better at understanding.
2. The more arrows you shoot, the better you get.
