Help with anchor point
« on: September 22, 2007, 11:48:00 AM »
Hello guys.  I have a question.  I have a double anchor point. 1st is thumb knuckle on the crease of my earlob and cheeck, the second it my eyebrow touching the string.  The first anchor is solid, is there anything I could tie onto my string to hit the eyebrow on the same place everytime. I just feel the string but know it is off a cm or two from shot to shot.  I was thinking maybe a piece of tape or something of a different texture so I could feel it. What would you suggest?  Thanks in advance... All ideas welcome..
Blessings,
Steve

Y acould put on a kisser button and just take a dremel tool and make it smaller. It normally goes on the string so ya can feel it with your lip at anchor thus the name KIsser Button! Shawn

Your draw arm isn't in the same position on every shot.Try this,when you get to anchor pull your elbow to the center of your back just before you release the arrow.

I have a very unique way of anchoring; I bring the back edge of the cock feather to the corner of my mouth. Works like a dream.

Parson:
You may be barking up the wrong tree. Our heads can move around like a bobble head dolls. Try holding your head out of the way and looking for your anchor in the alignment of your string arm and shoulder. Once you find it lay your head over on your hand like you would on a gunstock and note some references. LBG

LBG has a good approach. everyone's body type is different so we can't really say what will work for you. you have to find that yourself. what we can tell you is how important all the different allignments are,,,bowarm, drawarm, shoulders and such. get the drawarms elbow behind the arrow, feel your shoulders being in-line and parralel to the arrow and find where your drawhand ends up on your face and work from there. the above worked for me and YOUR mileage may vary,,, it's just a thought.
