Upon the advice of a pro shop rep, I decided to try a kisser button. The angle is a little severe on my shorter bows, but on the longer Hoyt it works great. More consistent anchor point. I did, however, do a before/after chronographing - this little button cost me 5 fps! It doesn't weigh much - must be a little air resistance thing on the string.

I'm a firm believer in the kisser, the more referance points the better!

A kisser really takes that much speed away? I have a kisser along with a whisker bisquit on mine, since I just started shooting. How much does a bisquit take away?

If you develop a good anchor,the kisser will cost you accuracy.Look how big they are.I can't believe a shop would ever reccomend one.

Kissers are a good thing. I wouldn't shoot without one. Same point of reference ever pull = accuracy. At a cost of 5fps....that is fine with me.

I think his explanation was centered around oneadditional point of reference. Eye looking down the center of the peep, string on the tip of the nose, thumb under the jaw with bone to bone contact, and the kisser button. Sounded like it might be overkill to me at the time, but it was an inexpensive and easily reversable try. On my shorter bows, for some reason, the increased angle of the string makes the kisser button feel awkward. On the Hoyt it is a keeper.

The string should come across the corner of the mouth regardless if there is a kisser or not,the string is much smaller so there is less room for error without a kisser.


If you don't use a peep or hindsight,then I would say they are a must but with either of these,they are in the way.


There is a reason you RARELY see a kisser on a target shooters bow.


OH WELL,to each their own.

Try a trufire cushion button they are small,light wt maybe cost you about 1.5 fps. Doen't use the brass nock that comes with them they
have to be tied on so not to add wieght.

5fps??? man how big of one did ya put on? Im shooting a kisser, peep and wb and only lost a total of 8fps.

It's about the size of shirt button and has a little brass ring that locks it in place. I should have weighed it first - but it's extremely light. I did the chronographing with the same arrow on the same day. And fired several shots each way - they tend to be within 1 fps of each other out of this bow.
