Default kisser button on long bow?

I often find that sometimes when I go to shoot my anchor doe'snt feel right and other times it feels good, I have a hard time being consistent with it, I shoot three fingers under and anchor behind my mouth up tight to my cheek bone tight to my face, I used to shoot two fingers under and one over split finger and I find that anchor feels good and easy to find but the arrows are all over the place and my groups the majority of the time are decent but just not consistent enough for me to attempt a deer kill. Is there anything I can attach to the string to help me find my anchor better.

I also shoot 3-fingers under and I anchormy index finger on the first bicuspid behind my canine tooth on the top plate (maxilla); I used to anchor on the lower jaw (mandible) but the lower jaw moves around more than you think. I got that tip from Byron Ferguson's book, 'Become the Arrow.'

I don't recommend a kisser button since your anchor point is so high.

You might try a two or three point anchor. Mine is my index finger on an upper tooth, my middle finger in the corner of my mouth, and my thumb layed flat and tight under my cheek bone.

A trick Ricky Welch uses is fletching his arrows so the feather touches the end of his nose at full draw.

I've never tried a kisser button, so I can't give any advice there. You are on the right track though--consistency is the key. When you conquer that, accuracy will follow.
