Anchor point

What do you guys use as your anchor point? Anything I've tried seems to be in an uncomfortable position.

I like to use my cheek bone, everything lines up better for me and I can hold my head straighter.

I shoot Mediterranean when I'm not shooting a thumb ring, I anchor my thumb nail in the corner of my mouth.

I shoot split finger and put my middle finger to the corner of my mouth.  I do have a bad habit of leaning my head in tothe shot sshortening my draw. Very freaking annoying.

It really doesn't matter where you anchor as long as long as you are consistent. I have a friend that anchors to the middle of his chest and shoots quite well like that.

I was doing middle finger in corner of month but have moved to my finger on my canine tooth for more consistency.  Can't say it's comfortable but it works.
