Yep I was coached to hook in behind the jaw and anchor on the mouth but couldn't get consistent accuracy. Switched to Olympic style which is more central and accurate for me.
Very interesting Matt, could be considered obvious but it isn't and it is lot underrated. Appreciate a lot your content, I'll work on a better and solid form ad to #MILG Thanks bro!
This video is spot on, but I'm shocked that it is necessary for anyone who is not an absolute beginner. If you want consistency, you must have an anchor.
Such a good video. I am new to trad archery and keep trying different anchor points. I was having a hard time finding a video where someone says do this, this and this. Most are like everyone has different anchor points so find one you like.
Great video , I try to use my canine tooth as my anchor but sometimes I find myself not quite hitting the anchor spot consistently , just have to keep working on that part of the shot process. Thanks for your tips , anything to make us a better shot.
Great video Matt. I tried using the corner of my mouth today and I can see the potential benefit but how do you stop scraping your bottom lip every shot with the string?
Solid video and instruction. Thanks! Nusensei out of Australia and ILF Olympic champ Jake Kaminski teach the exact same principle. Always need the reminder and example to follow. Just this week I started floating my fingers, only locking on the thumb to face. Multiple contact points!
You nailed my problem! In 40 years through broken body parts my draw has decreased from 28.5 to 25.5 inches. So I anchor as far back on my jaw bone as possible to stretch my draw. I also require a deep hook not to pluck. The result is my fingers are on my cheek and not very precise. Thought about this a lot shooting yesterday. Short draw was not an issue when I could shoot 50 lbs. Age has reduced that to 43 lbs.
