I left off the kisser button this year and haven't missed it. It seemed to get in the way when using my scent-lok hood. You should be able to anchor well w/o it. Nose on string, string on chest, hand on face. You did't mention if you're shooting carbons or aluminum. If one out of three is off and you're using aluminums number the stray arrow and see if it consistantly flies wrong it could be bent. Just a thought.
