Title: Who uses a second anchor point?
Post by: PeteA on August 09, 2013, 09:18:00 PM
Who uses a second anchor point and what do you use? I've been experimenting with middle finger in the corner of mouth as usual and cock feather in which makes a hen feather touch the tip-off my nose. I shoot split finger. It has improved my groups tremendously. I have 4 of 6 arrows literally touch within a 3 inch circle at 20 yards and the other 2 right on the edge. I'm going to stick with it for a while.

Anyone else use a second anchor?

I shoot three finger under and I have my index at my eye tooth/ corner of my mouth, cock feather touch my once and my knuckle of my thumb touching the back corner of my jaw.
So I guess I have three anchors....

I  use  the  same  points as  you.  once  you  get  use to it,  it's  really  second  nature.

Nose tip anchor and 1st joint of thumb knuckle lightly contacting against side of skull under the ear lobe.

Everybody should have at least two. I use my pointer finger on my eye tooth and my thumb knuckle where my ear meets my jaw. I tried the feather on my nose thing but it didn't mesh well with my release.

I anchor with thumb knuckle at base of ear and cock feather touching my nose.  Helps with consistency.

I shoot three fingers under. The index finger is at the corner of the mouth and the thumb knuckle is positioned behind my jawbone.

With some set-ups an arrow feather touches my nose. Depends upon the bow I'm using and the orientation of the nock.

For an anchor I'd also suggest anchoring on a tooth or bone rather than a fleshy spot. Its easy to incorporate if a tooth if you're already using the corner of your mouth.

Yes, I shoot the same anchors as Friend and Manitou1 have posted.
