Default draw back

where do you guys draw back to? I draw back to about 1/2 inch infront of the corner of my mouth, folks say this is too short, but Im pretty accurate.

Travis,

From everything I've heard, the key is to have a consistent anchor point, where you put your release, shot after shot after shot. I don't think it matters too much where, exactly it is, as long as you can sight through it. Others may disagree, of course.

I've always been a fan of the three point anchor system;

1.) Release hand to the back of the jaw
2.) Kisser to the corner of mouth
3.) String to tip of the nose

Consistent anchor time and time again.

Without seeing it I will only say this, most "folks" draw about two inches too long so what do they know? If you have someone who can take pics of you you can use this for a ballpark idea---at full draw your nock should be staright down from your eyeball. This is just a generalization.

Now if you really want to get into it then walk your butt over to www.archerytalk.com and do a search on draw length. Then look at a posts by a guy names Nuts&Bolts. He's got it down to a tee with pics and all.
