Default Briefly describe how you anchor.

I am using a Armstrong Pro Caliper (Cobra) and a rope loop but I use the same method
for my Cobra wrist strap. I sink my first knuckle into the indention behind the corner of
my jawbone directly under my ear, kindof pushing my lower ear lobe forward out of the
way. The length of my release is adjusted so that the string crosses the very corner of my
mouth. I then touch the tip of my hose to the string.
When I used to shoot fingers, I just went with my index finger in the corner of my
mouth, and again the tip of my nose on the string.
I’ve never been coached and was just wondering what the different methods are.
Thanks.

I don't have the best of forms, but I put a kisser button in the corner of my mouth, string on tip of nose and I feel my thumb against my neck. I also don't use a peep sight for hunting. Hate em for hunting!

I use a Cobra caliper release. I place my thumb under the side of my chin and my kisser button touches the tip of my nose. Sounds strange, but it works well for me.

Yall ain't makin much sense to me.The question asked is briefly describe how you anchor. Well I take my three point anchor and drop (don't throw) it over the side of your boat. Let it settle into the bottom of lake, river etc,etc. Then tie it off to the cleat on the bow not the stern but the bow and then you can fish like crazy. Yall are talking about Cobra's and Mongooses and all it just don't make any sense to me. Hope you all don't mind me being a little silly..<img src=icon_smile_wink.gif border=0 align=middle><img src=icon_smile_big.gif border=0 align=middle>
