My Barebow Anchor Explained | Why I won't anchor on my eye tooth with my barebow
ฝัง
- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 17 ส.ค. 2024
- I have a lot of experience shooting Recurve Archery, I am trying to apply the techniques learned in recurve to barebow archery. In this video I share my thoughts on my anchor, why is it so far back? Why am I not anchoring higher? What about using the eye tooth as the anchor point?

Thanks Jake. I have just started Bare bow and already dont like my nose being flicked by the string. So happy to find an award winning archer suggesting an anchor that avoid nose flicking.
I shoot traditional hunting style bow in a traditional club in Switzerland. The club concentrates on 3D shooting mostly but we train on field targets. I tried to shoot barebow first, but because i was the only one i changed to traditional. I tried the high anchor like most do in the club. Since i copied your advice on the anchor i feel much more comfortable. Even it makes it more difficult for gap shooting on shorter distnances, it makes me shoot more consistent. I have no point of reverence on my hoyt satori bow like some other bows have, like a flat upper bow window. So i shoot more intuitive. The whole sight of the bow window gets to be a more of a subconscious point of reference and i shoot by feeling. I soon started to improve. Also i try to use the tipps you gave on the bow hand extension when shooting the bow and it made a huge difference. I can really lock the anchor solidly with the thumb bone to the jaw bone. Since i just shoot since the beginning of the year i‘m very happy with the results. I try to shoot 4 times a week. Another friend who shoots longer than me also applied this anchor and he shoots very tight groupings. So even for trad shooting this channel helps tons. There are so many confusing channels out there so i just unsubscribed to a lot of them and stick to Jake Kaminski. We have no coaches in the club, it‘s very easy going. So i try to apply as much as i can from this channel
Le doy toda la razón a Kaminski. He ido probando distintos anclajes y al final me quedo con el que él indica, sobre todo a 50 metros.
Started to mimic you on this technique Jake and amazing how comfortable and consistent Ive become. Cheers from Sheffield England.
Great explanation. I've been shooting regularly for a few months now and that's the anchor I naturally came to. I couldn't explain why it felt better, and I think you hit the nail on the head here. Thanks for all of the awesome content!
EVERY time I have an archery question- you have the answer. Tysm 🙏 love ur channel
I am glad I’ve seen this vid,that my anchor point exactly for the same exact reasons,you’ll never know how pleased I am.
I love this video. I especially like it when you so nicely tell all the people who are telling you that you are doing it "wrong" or it's better "this way" or "that way" or the "popular way" that it really comes down to what works for you "because...". Everyone needs to figure out what works best for them to get the consistency they need. Technique is only part of the equation, my track coach used to tell me.
Anchoring is a very personal thing. No two archers anchor the same. I found this out the hard way after two separate coaches tried making me anchor to my chin, ruining my entire form.
Hallelujah! Thank you Jake! I had it drummed into me to anchor to the centre of the chin and nose as target archer. Short drawing hurts! Everyone's draw length and therefore anchor point is different and is determined by the relative lengths of forearm to upper arm, and width of shoulders. My forearms are about ½" short compared to my upper arms, so my anchor point is not naturally at my chin, it's further back. So I also anchor with my proximal thumb joint at the very corner of my jaw, giving a very consistent reference in all axies. I only really shot barebow for clout (which I love). In the UK, there is still a tradition of vertical hand positioning on the grip, and on the string, with conscious external rotation of the elbow bow arm to compensate, and anchoring to the very centre of the chin. I love your techniques, and let's face it, if they didn't work, you wouldn't have got two silver Olympic medals.
Thank you. I always thought tilting the head was bad, but allowing myself to do so made it all come together.
Hi Jake I changed to a lower bare bow anchor after shooting with a traditional one for about 10 years with longbow. I am right handed and always shot with my right eye looking down the outside (left) of the arrow. After shooting barebow recurve this way for for a few years I realized that it was completely wrong for me and went to a similar anchor to yours. This brought my alignment into a much better place now looking straight down the arrow shaft between the string and the riser. But it also allowed me to shoot the longer shots without having to gap over the target, I am still crawling at 50 meters with only 35 pounds draw weight.
Thanks for sharing this, it's a great channel you have here keep it up.
G'Day from Australia.
Jake, I am borrowing your barebow anchor. I shoot a compound a lot and have been using a nose button for an anchor point. In the past I have struggled with the tooth anchor by constantly hitting my nose or lip. That had made me gunshy of releasing arrows for fear of hitting my nose hard. Since using your technique and anchoring the string on my nose I have been shooting the BEST I ever have with barebow and feel it is very similar to anchoring my compound. Thank you for all of your videos they have helped me tremendously.
I've been practicing with this anchor for a couple of months now and it's really falling into place now. I can see all the advantages that you have explained, but it took a while to fully understanding the importance of fully pushing in behind the jaw, once I worked this out my groups reduced significantly. There's one other thing that I'm doing with my anchor after watching this and some of your other bare bow videos: Making sure that my index finger is pushed in just above my jaw and my second finger is pushed in just under my jaw. These two things are now giving me a very consistent anchor - thanks Jake, I don't think I would have ever worked this out without your tutorials.
Appreciate the video, I’m working on referencing my anchor and I’ve learnt a few things that may help. I desired to stay shooting right handed and just get new glasses with up to date lenses.
Tried shooting both last night, and I didn’t find a lot of difference other than being more accurate right handed. But I have injuries that made left more comfortable.
Ultimately I figured physio and working on strengthening the injuries in my shoulder would eventually lead to better results.
Really appreciate listening to your advise and wisdom x
Thanks for the work and insight. Never understood how such high and forward anchor can go with my alignment. Made me disinterested with barebow. Think I'll be having a go again.
I tried your anchoribg method and it feels great and more natural then any other. Downside is, i cannot hit what im shooting at, my arrows from that anchoribg position are all over the place.
Long time traditional shooter, hybrid longbow off the shelf. I love how you explain, with logic and examples, why you do something. I've read instructions on shooting from lots of the old time greats. Howard Hill, Byron Ferguson and the like. It's fun to find where they explain what they do, then compare how you present the concept from the KSL shot cycle. For example, Ferguson said he uses breath control to explain Expansion. His method uses how he breathes, he explains to drop the diaphragm and fill the abdomen with air. Once at anchor, keep the back involved and inhale more to fill the lungs, this allows the chest to expand and forces the string arm back just a little more. Obviously I can’t follow the whole KSL cycle, but I’m trying to pick and choose what translates over. Thanks for a great channel!
Thanks Jake, I started shootings for couple of months and I hit my nose and I tilted my head to take nose and hitting my lip and it’s really sore but you gave me the confidence and now I can hit the yellow without hurting me. Thank you so much.
THANK YOU SIR !
Best Regards from Jakarta Indonesia
Wow finally someone who uses my Anchor !!! Think it is about how your body fits together, have tried other positions and really doesn't work with my face shape and Hand size. With this, I am point on @50 mtr with 36 lb limbs, but need to crawl or use point of aim for indoors. and I crawl for field. Worked for the 50mtr Inaugural WA World Record for Masters so cant be that wrong LOL. KerryH
Jake! One of your best videos!! It's been a while since you posted this video. I wanted to see if you are still using that anchor point for your barebow. It all really makes a lot of sense when you demonstrate it. I think we all are searching for that consistency with proper form. Thanks for sharing! I've been watching your videos since the beginning. You do a GREAT job of explaining why you do things. Keep it up!
Hi Jake,
I've been shooting bows since before you were born, but my only coaching was my older brother smacking my head when I destroyed one of his arrows. LOL
I admire your dedication to the sport and appreciate your willingness to pass on your experience to us.
I recently purchased a Gillo GT and look forward to applying some of what I'm learning on your channel to improving my shooting.
Keep up the good work,
Rick McConnell
I am a trad barebow guy who freaking hates hitting my nose. I've tried an upright posture with min head tilt and it helps some. I am going to work on this anchor because it makes sense! Good stuff 👏
Great advice. When I first got back to shooting traditional, I had a low anchor, (lower than normal than eye tooth,etc.) and was very happy with the consistency and the shot, it just felt good and natural. I had people tell me I needed to anchor higher and I did, I felt like I was scrunched up but shot pretty decent, I never could get that nice comfortable feeling, started having shoulder issues and noticed I kept hitting my nose. Never done that with a lower anchor or any shoulder issues, my lower traps would get sore but I knew I was using my back. I think I’ll go back to my original anchor which is identical to yours and quit worrying what it’s suppost to look like
Very good. You are a true expert in archery and understand a lot more than I would say, most of the bare-bow competitors out there. I appreciate you sharing your archery wisdom! Thanks. Blessings to you and Heather!
What a great video. I have never been happy with my high anchor and my scores showed this. I am going out tomorrow to try a new anchor point. Thank you so much for daring to try something different.
Lol "keyboard coach's" tickled me jake!
I tested your (JK) anchor. Although I had to change my normal string blurr due to the slight horizontal displacement of arrows, it worked suprisingly well. So I will implement it in my "longer" distance shooting. Thanks Jake!!!
Hey Jake! Love your content, especially the barebow ones as I am a barebow shooter myself :P The "traditional" anchor was, for the same reasons you mentioned, weird to me as well. After a lot of trial and error I settled on an anchor position where the tip of my thumb sits in the corner of my mouth and my thumb knuckle is pushed up against my cheek bone. Now, the string touches my mouth and the tip of my nose.
Thank you so much for your insight into your barebow journey. I think that because of your professional career in olympic style shooting you have a fresh and new perspective on barebow archery and, ulitmately, evolve the sport and push things forward.
Keep up the good work and best regards from Germany!
I too came to these same conclusions, found high anchors very awkward and quickly reverted to my usual traditional/instinctive index finger anchor.
Thanks for sending me here. I'm going to give the mid jaw bone anchor a try, and get my nose tip on/ behind the string.
Really appreciate the insight. I've been fighting a high anchor under my eye . I can't seem to get settled with that anchor. Your suggestion seems more comfortable and keeps my alignment in place. Enjoy your videos!!
Thank you Jake!
My jaw anchoring is same but my anatomy is different and that's why my second anchor point is tip of nose and arrow feather.. I have tried very many anchoring styles but this is best I found!
Thanks Jake! I took up Barebow early 2020 and settled into the same anchor you use. The tip of my nose/string reference point and sight picture alignment falls into place quickly. More Barebow content/shooting!
The main advantage of higher anchor, I think when someone shoots traditional, specially when using gap shooting method. If I anchor lower on the jaw line, the arrow is much lower, almost outside my sight zone. That's somewhat difficult when shooting with gap method.
Perfect timing Jake, thank you. I have found recently that a similar anchor helps me to 'hold' more successfully without elbow creep, which in turn has helped ease target panic (phew!)... the less moving parts the better! The better alignment, particularly through the drawing elbow, also gives me a much cleaner release (less plucking). Thanks again Mate, much appreciated as always.
Jake, keep up the great work! You keep bringing clarity to my archery practice.
Thanks Jake,
For the bare bow anchor explanation.

Your anchor looks good. Man go with it. I don’t know why keyboard coaches would have the stones to give you advice anyway.
Good video, Jake! Indeed there are a variety of barebow anchors out there, including yours. The importance is getting three hard contact points to lock the head position while achieving good alignment. Individual anatomical proportions will dictate the ideal anchor. Two thoughts regrading the index finger in the mouth anchor - first, smacking the nose often means that the head must be rotated more towards the target and, second, the higher anchor can reduce the max crawl length. Of course, this depends on things like neck flexibility, facial width, and nose size. It also depends on your point-on distance and your preferred game. For WA/USAA target archery, you only need to nail up a few distances. For field archery and 3D, a wider range of distances are shot, so one goal is to minimize crawl lengths where possible - often this is achieved by face walking and gap shooting and sighting off riser landmarks for vertical aim. The cool thing about barebow is that it makes you really understand how your bow and body works, and use every trick in the book to make that shot. I have even seen some get away with string walking using an Olympic anchor - it could work with light draw weights and heavier arrows. For me and my current setup, my PO would be about 90m and I would have a crazy long crawl for shooting short distances.
What a good tip! I.m happy to see that I'm not alone. I do just like you and I resent clipping my nose .Thanks!
Jake, I’ve been doing something similar and there are some refinements you described that will help. I practice mainly for hunting big game with a longbow and I shoot a canted bow which makes the contact point of the string a bit different, but the principle is basically the same.
yessss, this is the answer to my question on another video, thanks a lot!
great video, my coach would hate you, hahaha!
i have the same anchor position (which i've learned from the videos of an italian barebow instructor), but every time i tilt my head to get the right alignment my coach gets mad (which makes me laugh a lot and miss my aiming). he comes from olympic recurve and compound, and i think he's not too strong on barebow. i guess i have to sit him through some of your videos, and i'm definitely going to start tilting my head. thanks again.
every frustration I get somehow I know Jake has something to resolve it.
Coming from compound fingerstyle and fairly new to barebow I had struggled with the recommended anchor points and with any time off I naturally want to go to my former anchor which feels so much better and natural to me and I believe it would be much more comfortable and consistent. I think that anytime you have string contact with something like the nose before the arrow has left it can effect the arrow flight and impact differently , that's just my opinion, but thanks for the confirmation video and I'll now try to work with what I feel will make me a much more consistent shooter.
great vid. A comfortable anchor point will let you you to be consistent and shoot all day. I feel people should be taught to have a good routine to consistently hit their prefered anchor point rather than be told to anchor to a certain place.
This is my go to channel. I‘m quite new to barebow, and all the „experts“ even if they are experienced tell a different story about form. Here you get all the olympic experience and theory projected to the trad and barebow well explained.
A suggestion: could you explain why many barebow archers use 27 inch risers and if and why that would make sense? Also on what limb sizes you recommend on a 25 or 27 inch riser.
I‘m looking to buy a new gillo riser and i can‘t decide what size i should go for. Also what limbs i should choose. I‘d set the bow up for barebow shooting only
A longer bow will lessen the effect crawl has on your tuning, among other things
yanni kessarios thank you!
I watch your videos and feel they are very valuable to me as a barebow shooter, but if I may be so bold, I think that to discuss where you place anchor, specifically height without addressing where your crawls actually are at certain distances gives a less than complete picture of the thing. Thank you for this content. I enthusiastically look forward to all your videos.
The crawl is towards the bottom of a yost tab, 10m is near the bottom side of their logo.
I agree!
I used to shoot this exact anchor - it’s great for target - only problem was short distances required too much crawl so I had to move away from it. If you can shoot
I like how people are telling YOU to do something different. I don't think they understand who you are lol.
Plus if it works for you, it works for you.
I agree 100%.
Thank you
Thank you for this video . I have always gotten so much flack from club/ barebow shooters
Hello Jake, Thank you for the video! I think it explains really well the struggles I had trying to use all the principles of olympic recurve archery with Barebow/traditional. The high anchor point does mess with alignment and you need more muscle power to shoot (get tired sooner) BUT is kind of necessary when you try gap shooting. Lower anchor point feels much better but aiming is more difficult. Have you ever tried gap shooting?
Looking forward to more videos from you how you adapt your process to Barebow/traditional!
I use split-vision aiming with Olympic Recurve form in barebow for the same reason you said earlier... and I don't even point on at any distance. Many criticise me for my technique, which I agree for 18m game which is never my strongest game.
Yet at longer distances especially 50m... I already made some stringwalkers and high anchor shooter cry.
It's all about what is comfortable and how you can compensate the disadvantage we have.
@@wanr5701 Exactly! I shoot with split finger and use a similar anchor as jake. Which means my gap is huge. Makes me really good at 35-4o meters but sometimes its a guessing game at 20-25 meters, which most of the 3D archery targets are - at least in my area. My Point on distance is around 50 meters.
Hi Jake! It's been over a year since this video so I was wondering if you could provide an update on how your anchor has developed? Also, would you be willing to create a video about choosing an anchor?
My anchor hasn't changed at all actually. Ive liked it and kept using it since.
I can work on that kind of video and add it to the list.
Thanks.
hi jake... your anchor style really solve my problem string slap my nose and lip during release and I lower down my bow weight so that I get small crawl...
Sounds great, I'm going to try it. It's NTS applied to bare bow
Yes. Thank you.
I've had trouble with finding a consistent anchor. Using the technique you describe here, I see immediate improvement. Hopefully in a few days I will be hitting those pigs right where it hurts. Thanks.
Hi Jake, i think you are fine and on the right track. there was a Frenchman in our club in HK that shoots vintage Swedish Seefab steel longbow with Flemish twist string and at 18m he can hit the all the 10s on the vertical 3 spot 40cm target. He makes us shooting with a full Olympic rig look bad. His anchor is low and the same at all distances he doesn't string walk either. he is accurate up to 40m and got a gold medal a couple of years back competing in the bare bow
class in China a few years back. i asked him how he aims and said that he looks at the middle of the gold and his front arm knows the elevation and his body does the rest. Yann said that he is good up to 40m after which his groups open up
a commit to help... thanks Jake!
Jake, try a little pressure up into your cheekbone as well. I use and teach the same anchor, but I also add a little upward pressure to bone. It's just one more reference. The same spot you use for olympic, goes into the cheekbone, just not as hard.
I'll be damned, I came here looking to find a better anchor point because I noticed all manner of shooters anchoring at the eye, or with the tooth method you demonstrated. Neither of those methods worked for me and come to find out I already have the same anchor point as you. I don't like slapping my nose either, it seems counter productive to induce a negative experience in order to achieve a positive outcome down range. Even though John Demmer looks pretty cool with his tape on the nose I can't pull off that look very well either...
Thanks for the great content, after watching your video and switching to open stance I've become more consistent.
I prefer the anchor in the same place under the jaw as your recurve position. Sure, it is a bit low at 18M but I am able to place the top of the tab against the arrow at 50M so this type of anchor works well for me. I just as you said, I really prefer that hard recurve bone to bone feel under the jaw.
Good stuff man and As long as it works for you and you get good results it’s worth sharing. Head movement must be repeated the same each time which can be tricky. We try to minimize or even better remove those movements with other forms of archery so why not Barebow? I find that it’s easier to not move my head at all to help firm up anchor and alignment, same anchor with thumb behind jaw but barely any contact with index. If my form is right I don’t hit my nose. I have found that the key to my alignment is is opening the stance, utilizing core and maybe even slight hip rotation to find the ability to relax and enjoy the aim. ~Frank
watch compound shooters, they move their head all the time to get the correct anchor and peep alignment. they outshoot all other types of archery. I see no issue moving your head to get proper string alignment and point of aim.
Jake Kaminski if any it’s minimal at best for those who do it with the most consistency . The NTS for both recurve and compound teach to avoid it if at all possible. Facial feature and body structure determine ability to limit it. If it works run with it, you can’t argue with results. Personally I don’t want to have to repeat to many other steps, target panic is enough to deal with. For coaches teaching kids I would avoid the head movement bit, they typically don’t hit their nose or have contact issues. If your posture and alignment are good, contact isn’t a huge issue most often. Big crawls result in contact for me and many others I know but that might not be true for all. We are all built different and that has a big impact on contact. ~F
I started archery this year. Split finger and middle finger in the mouth, as people showed me. But i realized very quickly, that this position is awful, espacially for the draw shoulder. I ended up switching to 3 under using the same anchor as you. Thanks to you i dont fell that i am the problem and i am on a right track. There is still infinite things to work on ;)
Edit: I noticed one problem. With this anchor the contakt to the bonea is in direction of the arrow flight and i think it favors creep.
This is almost exactly how I anchor barebow. Since I shoot lower poundage the lower anchor point has the added benefit of increased elevation.
I have no issue with your anchor. I may have suggested to try the higher anchor, but I have also seen other barebowers who anchor on the lower jawline, and it works well for them. It's good to try different methods, to see what works for you
Good video, it helps alot, i tried it once and it slapped my lips... And i realized my fingers were to high where my middle finger actually aligned with my lips... And thats how i slapped my lips
Jay, your anchor is very similar to mine though my nose does get hit by the string. That is something no don't mind that much. Repeatability and consistency are key for me as well.
Honestly every barebow/Instinctive shooter has to find what works for them and what helps them be consistent weather it be on the range or in the field!
fortunately my nose shape doesn't interfere with my anchor and honestly I just like all the different styles of archery in general there are many ways to do it well in accurately. all you need is repeatability and arrow alignment to target. Demmer and Dillinger anchors off their eye tooth Demmers couch anchors of his chin. On a side note check out the bare bow project channel.
Great video!
I anker at my ear. Using small horse bows from 40 to 52 yards will hit the the target but non-tight groupings. I am hunting other warriors not animals, speed speed shooting is part of that. Full draw at 3 seconds on each arrow. 45 pound bow to 40.
If you anchor lower your tiller could go to even minus value. I always set the dynamic tiller for 25m (tips are on the same line at full draw), and this gives me 0 static tiller. If you crawl more the 25m goes down, so tiller would be also.
If you see a (very) slow motion barebow release, you will see that only the lower limb pulls the string, as low you go this period will be longer.
I have been having similar issues. I have been shooting with one anchor at 18M and 25M and another at 30 up to 60Yards. I would like to have one anchor which is the anchor under my jawline and do away with the higher anchor entirely. In order to use the higher anchor I bring my nose into play, and to find a repeatable anchor spot, if find I am short drawn and out of alignment. I have been worried about the excessive crawl I would need to shoot at 18M under the jawline. The crawl is so big that my thumb is almost not flexible enough to get a consistent crawl. I think I would need a 1 5/8 inch crawl to do it which is 16 marks on my Yost tab. My thumb is at such an angle it is hard to see if I am being consistent on the stringwalk. More importantly though, I have wondered whether such a large gap was putting too much pressure on my limbs and what it would dictate as far as my tiller and BH. Thanks for the videos Jake. You are my virtual coach.
Even as an instinctive archer I can’t personally anchor on jaw, corner of mouth, and lower jaw, I end up hurting my jaw from the release over time. I started using a sight today on my recurve…idk how I’ll hunt with it but I’ll figure it out 😭
Its funny facts, when you start recurve lesson, some ppl said, to many equipment, too monotonous, every ppl its different, etc etc.
Then when you start someting else, there comes other ppl said , your anchor is bla bla bla, no need followtrough etc etc 😅
Same..
Love the video 👍. What model dampeners are on the aae rods on the bow in the background?
My anchor point does put the string next to my nose , my problem is the tendency to pluck when I release ! When I allow my hand arm and shoulder to pull straight back away from the bow my shots are more centered left to right ! I have to think every shot through before a draw the bow , bad habits are hard to break !
Iv been trying to put on finger in the corner of my mouth but the string caches my lip and now it’s sore so I will have to try my jaw bone thanks
Also from what I can see you hand is actually further forward than it would be anchoring at the corner of your mouth. But as long as you find it comfortable and repeatable it all good.
Its at least 1/2" further back (my wrist relative to my face)
Hello, At last !! Finally I now have an exterior (and reputable) source for the anchor point I have been using for the last 15 years. Having back problems, the "usual" (sort of) hunched position has me in pain after every competition. Standing "head high" and a "hard" rear anchor on the jaw bone, just under the ear, is far more comfortable and in my view, more open. Indeed, the back is solicited but this is correct, as any competent recurve archer will tell you, if you really want to be consistent. As for alignment, I have no need to tilt the head any as the string is just on the side of the nose. I do have a question though. Do you clench your jaw during the shoot to prevent "jaw creep" seeing the jaw is very mobile ? Thank you for your videos. They are a massive resource for me in my coaching of barebow.
It's the same way that I've been doing it... But I'm new.
Nice to know I'm not also stupid hahaha.
Thanks for the tip
Check out the you tube video "push archery" done by a bare bow hunter. He covers various aiming methods, and I noticed that his a chor is similar to your own. I think this would be very beneficial to your own barebow shooting.
Sir, my tiler distance is 5 cm. If it's suitable for bow tuning, I use a positive or negative tiler, if it's negative, how much is it, if it's positive, what's the right tiler?
It’s really making sense to me. I kept getting pushed out of alignment by my chubby face when I raise to anchor it’s annoying.
Keyboard Coaches.... yup plenty of them out there. What works for you, works for you. Plenty of differences in form in barebow that works! Everyone is unique so the one size fits all method does not always work.
What limb dampeners are on the bow you’re holding? They look nice and low profile!
Wow I anchor pretty much the same way for barebow and coming from olympic style, I can see a pattern here. For some reason I feel it very natural and pleasant so that kind of helps me be consistent.
will we ever get to see you compete in barebow?
Do you find your nose resting on the nock when string walking certain distances?
Weird question here. If a dude has a big beard, would anchoring like this cause the bowstring to rip your beard out, or does the string just move forward and not do anything?
Great video! Archery, Trad, Barebow, shoot what works for you, let the keyboard coaches keep their opinion to themselves. Everyone has an opinion for what works for them.
As a raw novice I find myself NATURALLY using my chin as an anchor point for the top of the first knuckle of my thumb just before release. Is this wrong?
thanks,why stop motion on processing ?
Would it make sense to use a weaker bow just to reduce your crawl? How much of a difference would it make say going down 5 lbs? Thanks for the great analysis as always.
Jake Kaminski I have found with a corner of mouth/tooth anchor that it pulls my shoulders up compared with an Olympic recurve/low anchor where my shoulders stay low. Did you also have this issue when trying a high anchor?
