anchor issues
« on: September 03, 2013, 11:03:00 AM »
Does anyone know of any tricks to lock in their anchor point? I try an focus on the target while drawing, hit my anchor, aim and release.  Sometimes my anchor is off and it drives me crazy.  My last four target at our clubs Sunday 3D shoot was  0,0,12,10. HELP!

I shoot instinctively and release as soon as I touch anchor. When I find myself short drawing I will hold for a second or two to insure I do indead hit anchor.
Make the most of all that comes and the least of all that goes!

Best bet would be to post video of yourself shooting on the "shooters form forum".
That will expedite the process and give you the greatest chance at successfully answering your question.

I'm guessing your starting to get a touch of target panic. Get over to the shooters forum

Sounds like you have a touch of target panic and that you are short drawing at times. I have the same issue. Spent some time over at the shooters forum and received some very good advice. I'm currently in recovery mode using a double anchor point and working more on form than actual shooting. I shoot one arrow at a time and concentrate on my form.
