That's the only way of which I am aware that you can move the nock closer to your eye and continue to use a split finger release. Some just find it uncomfortable to raise their hand, and arm, up that high. At north of 70, that's my case, but I tried it and it does work. It's just not comfortable for me.

Take a good look at the picture of the late Fred Bear, commonly included in most Bear ads, and you'll see that his anchor is just about as you've described.

Have Good Fun!   :jumper:

yes sir. Way to adjust. I use middle finger but others I know have used their ring finger with great success.

I like 3 fingers under. Stacey Grosscup actually told me to shoot this way and worked great and have done since.

I guess it must have something to do with living in N.J. because that is how I shoot.
