    263/4X, @ lunch.

    Still had a couple of 24 ends....but I did have a 29/2X end...and another 29 end.

    Been having troubles with a secondary anchor. But, I think I've got it worked out.

    It's a second anchor reference.

    I shoot cock feather "out"....and use the tip of my shield cut cock feather on the tip of my nose as an anchor reference. My secondary reference is the tip of my index finger in the bony gap between two of my upper teeth.

    Lately, I've let the secondary reference float (unbeknownst to me). I used to use the middle finger in the corner of my mouth as a secondary reference, but I'll show you a photo on why that isn't a good idea. Doing that, you can tug the corner of your mouth backwards at full draw.....thus changing your anchor. I realized something was wrong this past weekend when Page and I were shooting. He said I was drawing 29-3/4". That's about 1" too far. This photo he took of me showed me I'd lost the secondary anchor reference.

    My normal draw is about 28-3/4". THIS is what it should look like.
