How do you “engage” your kisser button? Did you simply get used to going through the face mask? Did you put a hole or slot in it so the kisser button pops through or do you have a face mask that has the mouth exposed? Just curious what others are doing.
I have done both in the past, engage it on the face mask and have cut a hole. I now dont use the kisser and actually became a better shooter without it. But thats just me :D
For years I used a kisser and would use a very thin mask and/or a mask with a hole for the mouth. Now I've lost the kisser so it's not an issue anymore.
In warm weather my mask is thin or I have face paint on, and have no issues. In cold weather my mask is thick fleece & I pull it down first. No big deal either way for me.
I used a kisser my first couple years shooting archery and then ditched it. I don't like wearing face masks either as it makes it tougher to find my anchor point for release hand.
I use a kisser and a peep sight and believe it can only help with accuracy. In terms of a mask, I have cut a hole in the mask and I have just pulled down the mask.
My shot routine is to draw, then get my bow level by looking at the level on my sight without looking through the peep, then engage the kisser button and look through the peep and center the housing with the peep and then concentrate on holding that exact alignment and try and move as 1 (bow and man) to line the pin up with the target. Does that make sense?
No experience with kisser. I shoot with pin center of peep as I have funny shaped housing...I do think a round housing would work good for just centering the housing in the peep.
My kisser button is actually a nose button or more accurately, a nose knot. I tie a knot on my string located between my top nock set and my peep. When I come to full draw the tip of my nose touches the knot. The nose is very sensitive making it very easy to feel this knot. I use the nose knot for all of my archery, target and hunting. I also wear face masks. I have two different ones. One of them is a stretch knit camo and the other is a thick hockey cap material which is black. The heavy black one is for very cold weather, anything under 10 degrees. These masks only have one hole in the face. You can just have your eyes exposed, eyes and nose exposed or your whole face exposed if you pull the hole under your chin. Whatever your preference is. If a buck is approaching and I feel the need to really cover up, I'll cover my nose with the mask. However, just before the shot, I always uncover my nose so I can feel the nose button. This has worked well for me over the years.
No kisser for me as well and I use the thin mesh mask when its warm and a thick black mask(ninja style ) when it's cold but always leave my nose exposed so I can feel the string on my nose.
