What is your anchorpoint? I am changing mine from putting the first knuckle on my left hand behind/under my ear lobe to putting the grove of my first and second knuckle behind my mandible(jawbone). I was able to raise my sight upquite a bit by doing this. I am also changing to alow wrist grip.
PERSONALLY, where my hand (release hand) ends up is a function of my other anchors...NOT the other way around.
My 3 MAIN anchors are
#1 Peep sight
#2 String to tip of nose
#3 String to corner of mouth
Once those three are set...the release hand has only one place to be. If you change the length of your release or loop (if shooting one) then your hand will move...but your other anchors will remain the same.
Doing this, I can shoot several different releases ACURATELY from the same bow. Each has the release hand in a different spot...but my REAL anchors never change
I agree that your anchor should be made in reference to the string. This what aligns the head to its proper position. The hand to face should be comfortable and repeatable - but is more a by product of how you align to the string.

I am on my Bike 6 hours a day, Busting my A**...thats what I am on.
Mahly13 , I am glad somebody else does it like I do. I have only been shooting a bow for about 3 months now. No body told me to anchor this way but this is the way that felt the most comfortable for me. I will go on my 1st bow hunt this Sat. Sept. 13th
I agree with Mahly but it is good to know where your hand is also. Trust me I missed a nice buck last year because when I drew I couldn' t feel my kisser button. Everything else felt good so at 27 yards I watched my arrow fly about 3-4 inches above his back. Had I paid more attention to where my thumb had been anchoring I wouldn' t have missed that nice buck. Still don' t know where or how my kisser came off. [:' (]
