I read of Henry and Babe's adventures in the old "Archery Magazine", many years ago.  Her husband, Henry,  was the inventor of the Bitzenberger Dial-O-Fletch.  I still go back and read those old magazines....and books.  Babe was quite the competitor in the forties and fifties.

Most every archer from that era(mid-20th century) and earlier anchored that way, even for hunting. Just look at the pictures of Pope & Young, Chet Stevenson, Chief Compton, the Thompson Bros, etc.
