| Hi Sambow,It looks like you and I have fallen into the same trap. A knuckles behind the jawbone anchor.I can just get on at 100yds, although I think my XV helps as I only peak at 48lbs and shoot 318s+100g piles.
My point is this ,my wife who because of her age only peaks at 28lbs but uses a low anchor against her kneck and reaches 80yds easily. Before you dismiss this as pointless, let me state that she is, despite the aforementioned well up the top ten county ladies, 2nd . She was a GMB and MB recurve for many years and has a very clean technique.
Why I mention all this, is that I believe that it is possible to shoot very well with a lower anchor point provided a good line is maintained, it just means that practice is nescessary to get consistancy.
However if you do decide to go lower you may find that you will have to increase your draw length or bend your bow arm a bit more, as the angle of the string moves the anchor backwards, providing that is, the head/string relationship is maintained..  |
