Drawing the Bow too far

Love my new Adcock bow (66") but when I draw it I can draw it past my normal corner of mouth anchor. Should I arrive at a new anchor or use my normal anchor even though I can pull back farther?

If your normal anchor works well for you, I see no reason to change it.

I wouldn't change your anchor if you are comfortable with it.  If you are comfortable with a little longer draw, and have a solid anchor, then the extra power stroke will be a plus.

Use the anchor that works for you and you are comfortable with.

I am having the same issue.  I found a new long anchor, and I am shooting better so long is the way to go for me right now.  I went from corner of mouth to thumb knuckle behind jaw and index under jaw bone.  With a deep hook that got me about 1" more length.  However, I think form is important.  I need to get some help to make sure my form is right with the longer draw.  There is no way I could have my draw arm in the same location with the two anchors unless I turned my head way in for corner of mouth and then I hit my lip with the string.
