Default RE: Anchoring?

Your anchor points will never be consistent or comfortable if your draw lenght is to short or to long. See TFOX'S video? Notice how the nocking point of the arrow is straight down from his eye. That's where you want yournock pointbe at full draw. NOw some guys like straight and stiff holding arm, others, like me, like to bend the bow holding arm slightly. That's your preference. so make sure that is nailed down, then you can play with anchor points.

What i like to do is put the peep in the string, close my eyes, then draw the bow and place my hand on my cheek/jaw, nose on the string to where it all feels comfy, then open my eye and have a buddy slide the peep to where it lines up with my eye....while not moving my head. Once you get all this hunky dory, they you can start shooting with consistent anchor points, and maybe fine tune your peep location slightly or adjust your anchors a little. Everybody shoots differently, so only you can be the final judge as to what feels good.
