What do you use to anchor and where?I am shooting a recurve and want to try 3 under but can't decide where to ancor.

I use the corner of my big mouth. I been thinking of going a bit higher, though, maybe to the cheekbone.

I anchor with my thumb behind my neck and hand along my face.It is a two pint contact anchor.

Index finger in the corner of my mouth with the web of my thumb around the back of my jawbone. Like Legends, it's a two point anchor that's a lot more solid and stable for me.

Leveractionman- I have been anchoring with my index finger on my canine tooth. I like to play with things in the off-season so I have been shooting with my middle finger anchored on my canine now. If you are a gap shooter it will bring your point on closer using you middle finger.

Middle finger corner of mouth, touch feather with left side of nose, thumb knuckle under earlobe.

Tip of my middle finger to the corner of my mouth, cock feather just touching the tip of my nose.

anchor is the same for recurve and longbow, middle finger corner of mouth. ( how I grip the handle however changes). I find 3 fingers under makes me lower my bow holding arm thus takes my eye further away from the shaft.

Cheekbone....I just started doing that way and it works well for me...I also touch the feather to the nose. I really am enjoying working hard on my form and anchor.

Thumb knuckle tucked at earlobe/jawbone... string on eyebrow and cock feather on nose... just started doing this and it gives me a repeatable anchor(s) and an inch more on my draw length... which helps since I had a short 25" draw length.

My index finger behind my eye tooth & my thumb nuckle behind my jaw.
