i think the best anchor point is the one that makes u shoot the best. i like to anchor back and those put the thumb of my release hand on the back of my neck. seems to make my anchor point a little more solid

I anchor the same as Legacy , but we are the exception . Most anchor with their thumb locked underneath the back of their jaw .

I anchor with my jaw bone in the joint between my thumb and index finger( close to the wrist.)Just pick an anchor point that is most compfortable to you and stay consistant.

If for hunting, the one you can sub-conconsciously get to the easiest and still shoot accurately.

The anchor point is different for everyone. It should be what feel right for you and helps you shoot best. Find whatever is best for you and stick with it.
