Title: Anchor Point
Post by: BrokenArrow on March 28, 2014, 05:50:01 pm

I am trying to pick the best shooting style and am struggling with where to anchor the shot?
Suggestions? Experience?

I shoot split finger, and I anchor the tip of my index finger on my canine tooth.

I shoot 3 fingers under, nock touching tip of my nose. Thumb is extended towards the bowstring and under jawbone.

maybe not the best/corect way, but it works for me.

As long as your anchor point is consistent, and your bow is set up for it, it doesn't really matter where you anchor.

shooting styles change depending on what kind of shooting you are doing and what type of bow you are shooting.

Pick a style and anchor that you can be most consistent with and drill it into your head. Learn concentration, if you can't concentrate on the exact spot that the arrow will hit, nothing else matters.

3 under, middle finger on corner of mouth...I'm a gap shooter, hunter only...Yardage 0-20 point on...I used to shoot what some call instinctive but sadly I can't devote the time needed for me to maintain "responsible" accuracy...I'm much more accurate this way.
