As I understand it, a side anchor is where the string goes past the front of the chin and ends up somewhere along the side jawline (i.e. moving back towards the neck).

An anchor where the string touches the centre of the nose (optional) and side of the front of the chin, isn't a side anchor, strictly speaking.

The key difference is that in the former, the string has to slide along and past the jaw/chin, which can cause inconsistencies. In teh latter, the string can move forward on release unobstructed.

Search for other threads on this - a lot has been written on side anchors, and by peopel who shoot to a much higher standrd than I do.
