“Archery Fit” Ep.5 Anchoring

/in /by

Compound Bow Anchoring With Levi Morgan

Today on Archery Fit fueled by MTN Ops, I talk about compound bow anchoring. Your anchor point is one of the most important aspects of archery. To be repetitive is to be accurate. In the past, I have taught a 3 point anchor– how your hand touches the release, how the release touches the string, and how the string touches your face. This last point of contact can have the greatest impact on your shot.

I think the most accurate and repeatable action you can have when anchoring is touching the tip of your nose to the string. A lot of archers happen to touch the side of their nose to the string and that is fine as long as it is repeated. The one thing you need to watch however is pressing your face against the string. This pressure can cause the string to move which can turn paper tuning into a nightmare!

Focus on your compound bow anchoring when shooting your bow, but pay special attention to how much pressure you’re putting on the string. To quickly find out if you are doing this, take your face off the string completely when paper tuning. If you’re having bad tears when paper tuning with your face on the string then you’re applying pressure.

Bow Sight Length with Levi Morgan

On today’s segment of Archery Fit, brought to you by MTN OPS, I talk about bow sight length! I see a lot of guys…famous guys that run their sight bar about 3ft from their riser (over exaggeration). When you are hunting with a gun, obviously the longer the barrel the more accurate the shot. This is simply not the case for bow sight length.  

One of the hardest things to control for archers is bow torque. The further your bow sight is from the riser and your hand, the more the pins or your point of impact moves with torque. The closer you can get that sight to the riser, the less it moves when you torque your bow. Remember this the next time you are shopping for a bow sight, or aim to adjust your sight based on a common misconception.
