Default How many points of reference for your anchor(s)

Another thread got me to thinking. How many points of reference do you utilize to make sure you're anchored properly?

I found out the hard way, once (though it ended well) that a kisser and a mask don't jive. So....I opted away from the kisser. At that time....I was also centering my pins in my peep in lieu of centering the entire pin housing. When I switched to the latter method....I was able to do away with the kisser button, entirely.

So now....I have the following anchor references:

1. Pin housing centered in the peep
2. Knuckles of forefinger and middle finger seated against jaw bone
3. String touching nose
4. Back of hand/wrist resting against the side of my mask
(I utilize a target release)

For the traditional bow.....I seat my gloved, middle finger in the corner of my mouth and place my thumb behind my ear.

Do you guys have any tricks you use? It's a good time to determine if your anchors will work wih a headmask......and (if you use one)a good time to start practicing withit on.
