RE: Where do you anchor
I put my punching knuckle.. which is my right index finger knuckle in the pressure point right at the back of my jaw directly under my ear lobe. Knuckle fits in there perfectly. Then of course I lift my head up, and touch just the side of the tip of my nose to the string, and my peep is right there in front of my eye. If there is a more consistant way of going about it.... I haven't heard of it. I don't personally like kisser buttons, I guess because I have super model lips and those buttons like to rip half my face off.
You can do whatever works for you.... as long as you do it the same everytime. |
RE: Where do you anchor
I put my right Index knuckle right under the corner of my jaw bone and touch the string corner of my mouth, I liked putting the string to my nose put for the I need to lean into the string.

RE: Where do you anchor
LOL. Rick, it's called a nose button at that point. I've been using one for sometime. What it does for me that a kisser button doesn't is give me another anchor reference point. If you're wearing heavy gloves and even with a light face masket, the anchor can be a little spongy or not so exacting. My nose is always uncovered. We all place the string at the tip of our nose or along side it anyway. The nose button allows you to instantly feel you're anchored correctly and in bad light you should be looking through the center of the peep even if you can't see it well If your nose button is right you just put your pin on the target and let it go in bad light. I personnally like it better than a kisser. To me it's purely a hunting thingy. It also ensures your head is at the right atitude and now leaning forward or back better than a kisser at the mouth. You don't like it take it off, but I love the nose button. It's a positive reference point. Mine is also a lot smaller than most kisser buttons but more repeatable.

Iuse a thumb trigger release and anchor with the first knuckle of my middle finger under my ear and a kisser button in the corner of my mouth.

How about a visual.
Kissers are a crutch that do more harm than good.In most cases. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jxOwEPsvHVQ |
RE: Where do you anchor
I anchor with the first knuckle on my pointer finger in the crease right behind my jaw and under my ear lobe. I also touch the tip of my nose to the string.

RE: Where do you anchor
ORIGINAL: BigJ71 So where do you anchor and why and does your release dictate where you anchor? I place my thumb along the lower ridge of my jaw and the tip of my nose on the string. My release doesn't dictate my anchor because it's adjustable, I adjust the length so that when my hand (thumb along the jaw line) is in the proper position the string will be just touching the tip of my nose. That's how I know I'm anchored correctly and will work with even a fleece mask on. |
RE: Where do you anchor
the whole point of anchoring is to be consistent right... this is what i do i have a kisser buttom that goes in the corner of my mouth....the string goes to the tip of my nose....and theni make sure my releazse is just how i want it and my thumb goes to the back of my neck....with these anchor points im always on target
