Where do you anchor
 

Last yeara pro shopput a kisser button on my string and had me start anchoring with the kisser right under my nose and start using a different release. I was used to anchoring in the corner of my mouthwith the release I used previouslyand I think this new anchor point caused an errant shot this year because I was set up to anchor under my nose andin the heat of the moment I anchored in the corner of my mouth. After that I started thinking of why did he have me change my anchor and mostly why under my nose. I didn't want to change in mid season but I will go back to the corner anchor this year. I used to use a Winn Freerelease and it was so easy to put the corner of it to the side of my mouth. I think I'm going to go back to that this off season and see how it works out. Wasn't a problem before. So where do you anchor and why and does your release dictate where you anchor?

I don't have the slightest idea why he would have you anchor under your nose... I don't even know how that's possible. I understand having your nose on the string when you get anchored but it seems a little difficult to anchor under your nose. I anchor very near the corner of my mouth.

I anchor the release just even with the corner of my mouth. You may want to consider going back to a release like you were shooting before. I see you already said this though. Good luck

Kisser Button right in the corner of the mouth..

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.

I go with bigj. I have a few anchors. One my thumb under the back part of my jaw. Second, I have use a kisser on one compound.

I see all these form pictures with people with thier release arm behind thier jaw under thier ears, and I don't know how in the world they shoot.

Let me clairify, I don't anchor under my nose but rather put the kisser under my nose. I too don't see how it would be possable to anchor under the nose:D.

I think some guys call a small kisser or tied in nock point like you're describing as a "nosey". It's just another refenence point.
I put the string on the tip of my nose like bigj and bigcountry. You're still putting the release head below the corner of your mouth. I used to tie in a nock point to hit the tip of my nose when I started shooting this way. It's a good way to get your anchor consistant.

I put my index finger knuckle (the one on my hand) behind my ear lobe, kisser in the corner of my mouth, and have been fooling around with the string on the nose thing. Never really concentrated on that before so I'm just exploring new anchor possibilities. Also have a peep.

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.

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.

I'm with swamp. EXACTLY.

Got the kisser right at the corner of the mouth.

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.

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
 

Im the same!!

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
