Anchoring, at the chin, cheek, or eye, behind the ear, advantages? Disadvantages
Pat B:
My draw is 26" and my anchor is my index finger at the corner of my mouth. I generally release as soon as I hit anchor. If I find myself short drawing I will hold anchor for a second or two until I get the short draw worked out.
I never see my arrow and if everything is working the way it should I don't remember the actual shot. When that happens I know I have the mechanics and concentration down pat. ;)
Josh:
down pat, LOL. ;D I anchor about the same way. middle finger touches corner of my mouth and thumb touches below my cheekbone. I have been having a problem with releasing before hitting my anchor lately so I think I will try and hold my draw a few seconds before I release sounds like a good idea. :)
Pat B:
Josh, holding at full draw like that for a few shots usually solves the problem until the next time! ;D This happens to me when I'm shooting a bow that is a bit heavy for me or if I haven't shot for a while.
Hillbilly:
Middle fingertip in the corner of the mouth. I think I unconciously look down the shaft for windage.
Pappy:
Same as Hillbilly on a good day. ;) :) Sometimes about half way between my bow hand and the corner of my mouth. ;D ;D
