For over 20 years, I shot with fingers. I was taught to anchor at the corner of my mouth--a common anchor spot. It became natural after practicing it many times.

Last year, I switched to a short bow and a release and had to start from scratch. It was unnatural at first and I had to think about where I was ancoring every time I drew so it would be consistent . . . . and this after a week figuring out WHERE to anchor. It became natural after all the practicing I did and I just settle into it now without giving it much thought. For hunting, it HAS to be that way.
