3 under anchor point?
« on: November 04, 2010, 09:20:00 PM »
Hey Guys,

Considering trying to shoot 3 under, just curious as to anchor points you 3 under guys use.  Thanks.

Thumb knuckle in corner of mouth. It works well except when I'm talking.

Try for a hard anchor if you can find one comfortable. I use index on corner of cheek bone and thumb knuckle corner of my jaw.

The quest to improve is so focused on a few design aspects & compensating for hunter ineptness as to actually have reduced a bow & arrow’s effectiveness. Nothing better demonstrates this than mech. BHs & speed fixated designs

I am with Chopx2 - Index high on cheek bone and thumb knuckle on jaw.

However, I just switched back to split.

I shoot 3 fingers under; index finger at corner of mouth thumb and little finger folded in palm (like scout sign). Thumb knuckle happens to be behind jawbowne. Relaxed (flat) back of the drawing hand.

I am like Winterhawk. Infact, I fletch my feathers so when I reach full anchor the tip of the feather just touches my nose. If my nose grows I'm in trouble! haha

I Try to keep My Thumb Anchored at the Base of Neck. Thats how I learned with the "Other" Bows, and its worked out so far on My Longbows and 'Curves!! There was an "Old Time Archer" that used to Anchor that way, My "Teacher" told me, but Danged if I can Recall the Mans Name Right Now!!!

Get Rick Welch's latest video "The Accuracy Factory" and look at his double anchor.  His class and techniques made all the difference in my consistency and accuracy.
