Two Point Anchor

[LA Trapper]

A lot has been written about two point anchors with three under.  What do you do with split finger?

[Wiley Coyote]

Hard to do............finger at the corner of your mouth and maybe your hand touching your ear or cheek.....??????????      :confused:

I attended a Rod Jenkins clinic and he had me move my anchor to having my thumb under my jaw and now I use that and the string touching my nose. WAY better than before! Much more consistent.
I shoot split and I drop the top finger when at full draw. The two finger release is better in several ways. Ask any of the visitors to my freezer! ;-)

Middle finger to corner of my mouth and base knuckle of thumb below my ear lobe.

I always have my pointer finger in the corner of my mouth and my thumb under my Jaw Bone with the 1st joint knuckle  tucked behind the corner of the jaw.

I suppose my anchor is sort of two point. Index finger corner of mouth and thumb up touching cheek bone. I tried thumb down but just didn't work for me. I try to keep the thumb anchored at the cheek during release, keeps me from plucking the string?

In the past I've played around with different methods. 1. Release sequence; draw, middle finger to the corner of the mouth, relax fingers at release, outside of the thumb move back along the side of my face to touch my ear.  2. Release sequence; Draw, middle finger to the corner of the mouth, firmly hold the outside of the thumb to side of my face, relax fingers-release, the hand is held solidly to the side of the face through the shot/follow-up.
   Both work and both are really a two point anchor, using the middle finger and the thumb but I've settled on method 2. With method 1 there is more of a tendency to pluck after shooting a lot and I get tired.

I shoot split and have a 3 point anchor.  Index finger on a canine tooth, thumb under my jaw bone, and middle finger in the corner of my mouth.

I shoot  3 - 4" feathers, split finger with cock feather in. I anchor with my middle finger in the corner of my mouth. Changing the orientation of the feathers makes the top hen feather touch the tip of my nose at full draw. This is my second anchor. I also shoot off a Bear Weather Rest vs the shelf. The tip of the nose 2nd anchor and the rest really tighten up my groups.

[LA Trapper]

LBR, that is where I am.  If I don't apply solid pressure with my thumb, the shot is off.  Static release.

Interesting Pete. I assume you are shooting shield cut.

[slowbowjoe]

Base of thumb knuckle to my earlobe, and feather to the tip of my nose, has been working very well for me. I'm still in the practice stage with it, but it's been working for me well lately.
I always prefer a high anchor.

I am with PeteA above...
middle finger to corner of mouth and 3 fletch with cock feather turned in, hen feather touches tip of nose.  My groups have gotten tighter also.

I shoot split finger with my pointer finger in the corner of my mouth and 2nd anchor is when the cock feather hits my bottom lip. When I started shooting this way I had to refletch all my arrows to move the feathers back(closer to the nock). I've been shooting this way for around 10 years now......it works great for me.

curious to know with all off these interesting techniques, how do they fair while wearing a face mask?  I hunt in extreme cold weather.
Thank you.

I have tried several different ways to get a solid second anchor and can't come up with a definite one.  

I guess it would be where my thumb touches my mandible behind my lip.. I always draw where my thumb knuckle comes straight through the corner of my mouth until my middle finger touches the corner of my mouth.

[LA Trapper]

Lineman72,

That is why I threw it out.  Using a face mask changes things.

Gotcha
