        I had an idea for tightening up my anchor point. Not sure if its a new idea but I thought I would share anyways. I took a nock set and crimped it on the end of my middle finger (which is my normal anchor). It took a few minutes to get used to it but my groups got a little tighter. Plus since its metal and cold I tend to notice more when it touches the corner of my mouth. Also since its so small it doesnt seem to snag on anything. Its not for everyone but there it is.

          Shaw — sounds like a good idea and thanks for sharing, with photo. But don’t that nock snag your string on release? ttf

            Its hard to tell by the photo but its mounted more towards the middle of the fingertip so its out of the way at release. But I suppose that even if it wasn’t it is attatched to leather and would flex out of the way on contact. Seems to work for me at least. Only real problem is that Im not a fan of this style of glove, it tends to twist at the index finger. So eventually I will switch to another stlye and wont use this, but for now I think it will make a good training aid for my muscle memory.

                There may have been a little blood. I found a flaw in this system. It worked great for about a hundred shots then it snagged…on the corner of my moustache!:shock: That will bring you to a foucus thats about as un-Zen as sitting on a porcupine in your birthday suit. Theres something very sensitive about the hairs in the corner of your lips. Soooo if your clean shaven then have a go at it! If your wooly like me then I’d advise against this tip.
