I anchor at the corner of my mouth, then pull further (probably less than 1/4") with my rhomboids until the bow goes off. If your style works for you, keep doing what you're doing.

Thanks guys for all the great input. Tarp, yes, I do can't the bow a little. Probably to about one o'clock maybe one O eight one the clock dial.

I run a 3-point anchor.

Base thumb knuckle buried in behind my jaw.

Third pointer finger knuckle on my cheek bone, kind of like resting my face on a gun stock.

Tip of my nose touching a landmark on my arrow nock / string. (varies depending on how far down the string I am crawling while stringwalking)

I just recently got back into archery. I was having problems shooting from the corner of my mouth so I moved to my thumb knuckle behind and just below my cheek bone and just in front of my ear. Much better results and a longer draw. I say shoot what works for you.

I have been using Welch's anchor system for some time now. Like him I shoot 3 under.  i have two anchor points: Bottom knuckle of my forefinger anchors on my cheek bone; and bottom knuckle of my thumb anchors on ear lobe. I suppose you could say I have a third anchor in that I make sure to align the bow string in the same place just to the right of my right eye vision. I don't like the string blur that some prefer directly in front of vision.  I tried and did not like Rick's fletching-touching-the-nose anchor. Like others have said, I am able to fully engage the rhomboids with this anchor method.
