Depending on what bow he is shooting Reo doesn't always touch his nose.  Still seems to win!  Don't think he touched his nose once during his 2013 Vegas appearance. I highly doubt that was because he is not that picky.  And I doubt he won with a floating anchor.

So because Frank Pearson set records when there were not the caliber of shooters there are today, Dwight Schuh is not a tournament caliber shooter and Chuck Adams makes only one shot to kill his animals means they all have floating anchors?  That's hogwash!  If you have proper form, draw length, a solid anchor point and you are using a peep sight correctly where the string goes across your face doesn't matter.  That is unless it comes into contact with the face with enough force to effect timing and/or mechanics.
He asked, Do you ever give a short simple answer?  I replied, "Nope."

Do not mis understand. I did not say dwight,chuck and Frank have a floating anchor. YOU DID :chuckle: Frank does not have a floating anchor, He uses a different place for his string to contact. Infact I do not think any of the top teer archers have a floating anchor at all. It would be impossible to shoot the consistant scores they do if it was floating.You would get a different view on uphill,Downhill and sidehill. Not touching your nose does not make it floating.
Maybe we should clarify. As long as you have atleast 2 reference points for your anchor it is not floating. Reo did and does touch his nose with the string. Like I said some have an amazing amount of natural talent. Dave cousins touches his face in a different place because he shoots a very long draw length for his height. I do not know anyone else who could pull that off. What I was saying is it is more consistant to have multiple anchor points with the string and 99.99% of the top tear archers in the WORLD do exactly that. TOUCH THEIR NOSE
   There is quite a difference between shooting animals and 3D targets than spots. Your bow can be out of tune,You can misjudge the yardage,Punch the trigger and flinch and you may still get a 10 on a 3D animal or even kill a real one. BUT when you are given the distance have to cut for slope and bubble for wind and make 2 or even 4 shots in the same target spot you need to be consistant. I have shot with the top pro's from all over the world. I have only seen 2 that do not touch their nose with the string. Dave Cousins and Tim Gillingham. It is acheivable with just about any compound bow and still have great form. The average Male archer is 5'-10 " tall. with the bows on the market today even the parallel limb bows it is very doable. It is better and more consistant why not set it up that way. Especially for the beginning archer?

That would be nice of ya.  Thanks for the offer.  Is this located in Roy?  Do you have an archery shop or is this just your home shop?  I just need my peep lowered a little bit.  But I do want to get a Hogg father single pin for the range to extende my distance and then come season go back to my multi pin sight for hunting.  I'll be out past yelm next weekend let me know.
