Three fingers under anchor point HELP please

[JacobPack]

So I switched to shooting three fingers under my knock today and found that I shoot a lot tighter groups. But I am having a hard time finding a comfortable anchor point, and what finger to anchor in the corner of my mouth. Any suggestions from those who shoot this way?

I am new to shooting 3-under, and what is working for me is the middle finger in the corner of mouth (really anchored to a tooth).  As a secondary, I am touching the tip of the feather to my nose when at anchor.  Hope that helps!

X2, except I'm not new to shooting 3 under.

been shooting 3 under dfor a spell i use middle finger to corner of mouth and thumb knuckle to base of my ear

I put index finger at corner of the mouth. The hand is flat against my face with the thumb knuckle under my jawbone. I've never tried a different anchor.

Everyone's combination of face and hands is a little different.  You don't want to use the corner of your mouth unless there is a hard anchor point there like a tooth you can hit.  I can't find a tooth to hit, and I tend to push up my cheek flesh and squint my eye if I really try to get in the corn of my mount and find something hard for an anchor.  I also tent to shorten my draw or turn my head too far in when I try to use my mouth.  So what I do is get my thumb tucked in with knuckle behind jaw bone.  I use a deep hook so make a C with my hand.  I get my index finder tight against the underside of my cheek bone above the corner of my mouth. This creates a very snug fit of my cheek bone structure into the C in my hand. The only problem with this is if I get lax on my hook and get my index finger out on the curve of the cheek bone.  Then I can rotate my head a bit, but when using the nose anchor to feather, I limit that little rotation.

Everything here sounds great, and everybody is going to be a little different.  I use my middle finger at the corner of my mouth, and use the fisrt knuckle of my thumb to lock into the back of my jaw bone, and the tip of my nose touches the feather on my arrow.

Jacob,

I use a 3-point anchor.  Joint in thumb (the one closest to fingernail) on hollow in earlobe, end of same thumb snug into jaw bone and tip of nose touching cock feather.  I was measured on a bare shaft, and had to move my fletching (at least cock feather) forward approx. 5/8" to accommodate.

Not only did this give me more consistency, it also increase my draw length by 3/4".  

Learned this from Rick Welch at his shooting school.

you need to find what is consistant and comfortable for you, but what works for me is top finger in corner of mouth bottom finger on lower jaw, thumb behind jaw, and cock feather touching my nose

I have exclusively shot 3 under because it is what has felt more natural to me than split.  As I skim the posts here I thought I would suggest something different since we all have a different face structure.  My anchor is with my index finger into the cheek bone, my ring finger toughes the corner of my mouth.  I am working with my thumb to try to establish a third point of contact.  Just something else to think about.  Good Luck

I do the same a naturebatch07 does and I also place my thumb on my jaw boneeixhs fits comfy when my picky and thumb touch together

If you go to stalkerstickbows.com, Ryan explains this through a video clip real well. Hook jaw with thumb, index finger knuckle on cheek bone, point of index finger on canine tooth and feather on nose. All what has been stated above and how I anchor as well.

Thanks so much for your comments! It really helps with a lot of ideas and gives me some great things to try while chasing big game seams right around the corner! I have never been taught or thought of using more than one anchor point! I am excited to try this today!!
