String touching the side of your nose or the tip? I shoot from the side, but was told the tip is more accurate. He claimed I was "too far into the bow", and I should shoot off the tip.

Makes no difference as long as you do it the same way everytime and are not drawing so far as to mess up your form. I have shot both ways just as well.

And most that wear glasses shoot this way.

Paul, is there any significance with facial torque and anchoring "too far into the bow" as BigWay referenced?

If you pulled string really tight into your face there could be. Wouldn't be too comfortable on your nose when you released though.

Either way the string should lightly touch your face.

He may be implying that your draw length is a tad long this way. Or possibly you are bending your draw arm too much at the elbow?

Really hard to say without seeing you shoot.

I agree with Paul. Doesn't matter if end or side as long as you are consistant.

Also someone would have to watch youdraw and see if youtoo farin (over)or lean back. The problem also could be that you lean your face sideways or forward to touch the string instead of the string coming straight back to your anchor point.

Probably just as important is the place that you anchor you release hand. If that's consistant then the nose will be to.

Agreed, whatever is comfortable and consistant for the individual.
I did switch 3 years ago to touching the tip of my nose. I find it a reference point since I don't use a kisser button.

I use a kisser button, tip of the nose, and the knuckle of the release hand nestled into the corner of the jaw bone. One thing I noticed tonight was that, with the new heavier face mask I was wearing for turkey hunting, the kisser button and tip of nose anchor points were bothkinda muddy. But the knuckle to jaw contact still made it work.

do it the same every time and you will be fine
