RE: what is kisser button
Bobcat 10, a kisser button is a device/object you add to your bow string to use as another anchor point around your mouth/lips. When you draw your bow back and anchor, you can feel this unit on your lips/mouth and it helps you be repeatitive which is very important in shooting a bow. Consistancy is where accuracy comes in. A kisser button can be anything from a metal nock, rubber cushion, a string tied in a knot or many of the manufactured " kisser buttons" on the market.
Do you need one? That depends on your consistancy. When using a peep, it isn' t always necessary to use a kisser button. IF your anchoring consistant, then no you don' t need one. If you learn to anchor and shoot without one, then don' t use one. Anything you add to your string, slows your arrow speed. I do believe consistancy is improved with either a kisser or a peep but both are not necessary.

RE: what is kisser button
Its a small disk shape button that goes just above your nock.When at full draw u place it in the corner of your mouth.It helps with your anchor point so that every time you draw u do the same thing each time ,it improves your accuracy.I place my thumb below my Jaw so I do the same thing each time.Do u need one ?Maybe?If you are having accuracy problems it would help.But they do slow your arrow speed down,about 4 t0 6 fps.

RE: what is kisser button
I' m thinking about getting one myself. I switched to a release aid a couple years ago and I' m just not as comfortable with my anchor point as I was with my index finger in the corner of my mouth. The kisser button attaches to the string at a point to where it contacts the corner of your mouth at full draw which provides you with a consistant anchor point.
