Continuing along in the same vane as question 3.
When anchoring where do you place the nock.(arrow)
High ,under the eye or on the cheek bone.
Medium at the corner of your mouth or low under the chin.

Another question
When shooting ELB and using the C mandible anchor point, then beside the jaw.
When string-walking it is variable.

I have the nock so that its just slightly above the corner of my mouth. With a split finger release, I have my middle finger indexed against the corner of my mouth and the nock sits on top of this finger. I find that its easier to use my middle finger for anchoring as its bigger and it sticks out more than my index finger. I have no real reason for doing it this way, other than its always been my way.

I shoot split fingered. with a medium height nocked arrow. I have my hand hard against my cheek with my index finger above my upper lip and my middle finger below my lower lip. This way i have 3 reference points that aid me to reproduce the same shots.
Up to 20 metres i look at the target with the point of the arrow in my peripheral vision.
Distances further than 20 metres i place the point on the target to 35 m
At 50 m I aim the point about 7 inches above the target.

3 fingers under with the nock at the corner of my mouth.
This only changes on very close shots where the nock sits just under my eye (shots of 5m or so)

Split finger, with middle finger just ever so lightly touching my eye tooth. I feel that a light but consistent anchor gives me a cleaner release, with less interference between my face and fingers/hand, upon release.

I don't anchor as I'm a snap shooter. I shoot Mediterranean release and my middle finger would be in line with the corner of my mouth.
