Anchor at corner of mouth
« on: March 04, 2016, 12:13:00 PM »
What finger to you use to anchor at the corner of your mouth. I recently went from my index finger to my middle finger and had better accuracy. Just curious what others do.

Middle, but I have to have a second to be accurate. I lock my second thumb joint behind my jawbone.

Split middle, index three under.  That keeps the perspective the same if I switch.  I also lock my thumb behind my jaw bone and my index knuckle is under my Occipital bone.

Middle 3 under but also feather on my nose for second anchor.  Got to the point I can't release unless that feather is touching my nose.  I had to adjust where my feathers are on arrow.  Slightly further back than most.

After experimenting around I settled on index with 3-under. I get a better feel of the anchor that way -- but that's just me.
