Title: I finally found it.
Post by: Pine on July 07, 2020, 01:40:30 PM
My anchor point with this release aid.
Been a frustrating several weeks trying to figure it out.
I can shoot without any hand discomfort but just couldn't find a consistent anchor point.
Been shooting split finger for 57 years and that's hard to change.
But just today I finally found a consistent anchor point and I get the "FEEL OF THE SHOT".
If I look at my arrow there's no telling wher it will go.
But if I draw back, lock in my anchor and only looking where I want the arrow to go;  :thumbsup:
Thought this was a fluke.

shoot in the pitch dark with a flash light pointing at the target,,, if you hit good in the dark then your a true instinctive archer which just makes it so much more fun..

I also shoot with a release (hand damaged).
I found that using the cock feather at 3:00 (left handed) to just touch my nose was a good anchor point.
Brings the arrow very close to my eye and can sight down the arrow.

Do you use a string loop or just attach the release directly to the string?

The string loop of the release wraps around the bow string and under the arrow nock.

That is a classic release.  I have not seen one of those in a long time.
