Kisser button, nose button, ect...

Postby elkaholic » 03 31, 2014 •  [Post 1]

If anything, what do you add to your string to achieve a consistent anchor point? I had not tried a kisser button till last year and have since added them to my Switchy and Katera. It seems to help me settle in and get things lined up faster. I'm willing to sacrifice a small amount of speed (1-3 fps or so) for accuracy.

Before I used a kisser, I used to shoot my cock feather flat like how ur taught as a kid an stick that in the crook of my mouth, always same spot, we will say my form was a little awkward, after I bought my newest bow it had a kisser and I shoot a lot better with shooting an it has improved my form

I put a kisser on when I got my new bow 2 years. it was awkward at first. now it ripped and I had to take it off. now I noticed it took a couple of seconds to make sure I was anchored correctly. so, they do help.

I do something similar to gypsumreaper, with my arrows four fletched, my vane touches my lip in the same spot every time. my nose sits on my string and my knuckle sits on the point of my jaw bone. same thing, every time. its what ive found works for me

I run a kisser button. I just started using it a couple months ago. Was taking a shooting lesson and the coach noticed that I had an inconsistent anchor. He recommended a kisser so we put it on. I also touch my nose to the string but the kisser seems to help and is much easier to get into the same spot every time.

Instead of a kisser button I use some serving tied in a knot. Gives me that extra contact point, plus my nose.

I've done this in the past and liked it better than a kisser button, easier on my mouth. But either way, I think it makes your anchor and shooting more consistent.

I use a peep site and a kisser button. Between the two of them my anchor point is very consistent and I'm in position instantly. I'm also willing to sacrifice a few fps for that.
