    Im not a fan. I used to cut my lip up real bad no matter how i did it. And when people told me to not hold it so close, i figured whats the point?

    I use them, I am a horrible shot without them. Still not that great with them but at least group my arrows;)

    I don't use one. I put the string on the tip of my nose. I have a buddy that has what they call the nose kisser. He likes it a lot better than the regular kisser button.

    I've used one ever since I started shooting archery. I've never had a problem with cutting up my lip though. I just like that it gives me a consistent anchor point every time I shoot.

    I wish I could use one on my current 99 Hoyt. Once I can finally upgrade my bow I will for sure be using one.

    what kind of peep do you use? it seems like it would be hard to put it on the tip of your nose

    I have used one for yrs. No problems ever. It definitely is one more tool to maintain consistency, which leads to a consistent form, which leads to accuracy.

    It took me along time to wing myself of the kisser button. I now just focus on a good anchor and alignment of my peep and sight halo. I started shooting better when i dumped the button.

    I have been bowhunting for 15 years and have been using the kisser button for at least 10 years. I have never cut my lip on it. Not sure how one could do that. Must be actually closing your lips on the button. I'm not sure if it has helped my accuracy but i figured if it meant a consistent anchor point, it couldn't hurt to use it.
