Roske, I agree.

A correct anchor point is one of the most important aspects of consistancy.

Usually, when someone has troubles with consistancy they find out that the peep has moved and thus has moved the anchor point. Or, they set the peep up first (and possibly kisser button)and tied it in and now adjust their draw handto compensate but never really get a comfortable anchor.


Frank,

There is nothing wrong with what you did. Sometimes, you have to move your draw hand to a different place for a proper draw. However, the key is to repeat contact with that same point each time. Often, when your anchor point isn't solid and you draw with your eyes open you never get a "feel" for the spot. Practice drawing with your eyes closed then open and see whre the peep is. Repeat drawing and check again. What you are trying to do is remove having to adjust when you draw based on sightand draw to the peep every time using feel. You're teaching your body to use feel instead of sight for the anchor point.

When I bought a new bow and a new release I had to train my brain to adjust to the new anchor point.
I was using my sight to look through the peep and couldn't get consistant. Practiced drawing with my eyes closed over and over and now it's natural. Even thouhg I'm having some target panic issues.[:@]

Even if you were not using a peep drawing with your eyes closed to feel the anchor point is a good idea.
