I will use Tony's pic to explain why the loop not only affects anchors but draw length as well.In the pic you can see he clearly has a SOLID foundation and great form.(Everyone can learn from it)His primary anchor(release hand) is solid against his face and his draw elbow is perfect.THIS IS THE PRIMARY.



Many are judging by SECONDARY anchors,which are subjective.Most prefer tip of the nose and corner of the mouth,as do I.


For Tony to maintain his PRIMARY anchor which helps determine his foundation and body alignment and change his secondary anchors to the tip of the nose and corner of his mouth TWO things have to happen.He would have to first,shorten the draw length of the bow and then lengthen the loop.(he could lower his anchor as well but that affects the primary.He may end up having adjust it in the end as well if he were to go to the tip of the nose.

SO,from this it has to be determined that the loop length affects the draw length of the bow.Longer loop,shorter bow draw length.

Of course he has chosen different secondary anchors for whatever reason.I actually like what he is doing and can see how it is extremely comfortable and repeatable(the coach I have referred to uses basically the same)It also allows for a longer draw length and gives him greater speeds for 3-d.
