Title: Brace height and anchor point.
Post by: Joed on September 01, 2010, 07:15:00 PM
Does anyone find they have a different anchor point with different bows. I am having this problem, not sure if its because both bows are set at different brace heights, or if this is actually a problem

I've noticed a bit different anchor between bows but, for me, it's caused by heavy weight or being over bowed.

Imho your anchor point should always be the same.Depending on the bow you may have what seems(an illusion) to be a difference in you draw length.

I have recently switched from corner of mouth to just right of dimple of my chin. I have worn a goatee for the last nearly 20 years and find it easier to find this spot with a more solid anchor my middle finger hits I feel the contact more solid and my shooting has improved. I was at times shooting with a floating anchor no contact just a feel as the corner of mouth was not working as well anymore.

Every bow I've shot I used the same anchor.

Same anchor point;may need a different nock-point location.I need a different nock point for my 56"recurve than I do for my 64" longbow.

Same anchor for me for the last four decades.

I only have two bows, but the anchor is the same.

You didn't say if the anchor was higher / lower or further back or what so it's kind of hard to imagine why.
