split fingers for gap shooting...good?...bad?

[deermaster1]

i have been trying the gap method and am shooting better than ever.  a deer sized target is in real trouble under 30 yards now!  my only question is that i use split fingers and anchor in the corner of my mouth and i have never seen a gap shooter do this.  i have always seen 3 under or a higher cheekbone anchor.  will i run into any problems using this in the future?  thanks for any info!

I believe that Larry Yien shoots that way. He's not too bad. (three time IFAA Longbow World Champ).

I use a split finger and anchor at the corner of my mouth.  I usually shoot instinctive but I normally gap at 25 yards and beyond.  I have not noticed any problems with hitting the target.  In fact, I have been experimenting with gap shooting at shorter distances with good results.

You shouldn't run into any problems at all.

Your Point On distance will usually increase by going from 3 under to split finger and if you're deadly at 30yrds. and under you're doing great.

My primary aiming techinique is Gap which has nearly become totally Instinctive and I shoot split finger with my index finger in the corner of my mouth and my Point On distance is at 90yrds.
