I also struggled with the same "reaching" issue in the past.Upon the advice of a local 3-D shooter, triedthe Short N Sweet release - where the trigger is about even with the place the release hooks on to the string loop - it helped. Also the shorter release resulted in an anchor point a little more forward, where thebase of the thumb is actually under the back of the jaw bone - not under the ear. This too seems to have helped some with anchor consistency.
