Default RE: Anchor position

It sure can. Most often the problem is not so much with the bow, but how it fits the shooter. And it's usually too long of a draw length and/or too much draw weight. Anchor points are dependent on the draw length of the bow, draw length being the most important aspect of proper fit for compound bows. Too many guys, in a quest for speed and/or not knowing any better, are shooting a couple inches longer than they need to to achieve good accuracy.

I notice that you list the draw length at 30". Do you really require one that long? A general consensus is to measure your wingspan and divide that by 2.5 to get you in the ballpark. Then have a bow that is adjustable for draw length on top of that. If you want to play around and get the bow to fit you to a Tee then you can play around with modules and string cable twisting to find just where the bow aims the most solid. Some of us do that and find that the best draw length is not some even number like 29" or 30", but something like 28 3/4" or 29 5/8". Some odd figure, but when you find that sweet spot you'll find the bow shoots a lot more accurately, or put another way, it shoots very accurately with less effort on your part.
