Chad,
You're right as Rick's methods might not work for some.
But I couldn't hit worth anything with a Recurve at first until using Rick's anchor.
I use a 3 point anchor on my target compounds and the 2 point anchor of Rick's worked like a charm for me on my recurve.
Not sure about all the different world championships and the locations Rick has won them.
He has also won 70 state titles to boot.
Heck, how do you know you're not 9th best in the world if you finished 9th in a World Championship match ?

My respect for you has grown greatly, Chad.
Sag.
