On short bows, a lot of the time - especially with a draw length 30" or more - the string angle is so severe that you' d have to have a face like a collie to touch your nose to the string and a kisser would sit nearly flat against your lip.

Without knowing the axle to axle length of your bow, your draw length, what release you use, how you anchor, whether your nose is flat as a bad boxer' s or if you have a honker like Jimmy Durante, it would be impossible to tell you whether you can get even pick up a string contact anchor reference without stretching your draw length out too far. Frankly, a lot of guys are shooting too long a draw length and that' s how they can touch the string to their nose.

Something to do to doublecheck your draw length is stand up against the wall, facing it, stretch your arms straight out to the sides, palms flat against the wall, and have someone measure along the wall from fingertip to fingertip. That will be your wingspan measurement. You can take that measurement, subtract 15 and divide the difference by 2 and it will tell you if your drawlength is in the ballpark for what you should be shooting.

Example, if your wingspan is 76 inches. 76 - 15 = 61. 61 divided by 2 is 30.5, so that would be a 30 1/2" draw length. It' s not perfect, but it' s usually very close.
