Compound anchor is 1st knuckle to my ear lobe and string touching my nose. Longbow anchor is index to the corner of my mouth!

With my compounds, I anchor my thumb just behind the corner of my mouth. With my recurves and long bows, I anchor my index finger on the corner of my mouth.

Release at the corner of my mouth.

Otherwise my Fat arse is a anchor.

Nice, sounded like a gun going off though.

Not all the noise is the bow,the target is only 6 feet away.

The rest of the noise is coming from the quiver that doesn't have any foam or arrows in it.Plus it is magnified in the garage.
