What is an "anchor point"?
An anchor point in archery refers to a consistent spot on the archer's face or body where the drawing hand is placed when pulling back the bowstring. This spot helps the archer aim more accurately by ensuring the bowstring and arrow are positioned the same way for every shot. Common anchor points include the corner of the mouth or under the jaw. Maintaining a steady anchor point is an important part of achieving precision and consistency in archery.
Examples
Ensure your anchor point is consistent to maintain accuracy.
