Although since my arm injury I havent been able to shoot a bow I used trad bows for 33 yrs,dont know if you care to try it but I shot 3 fingers under the nock anchoring with my index finger under my cheeck bone,cant your bow so the arrow is under your eye in your periphal vision you will see your arroe about 12 inches below the target,point on around 30 yds or so,it gets very natural after a bit.It helps me to have some steps to go thru when Im shooting an animal,1 use your shoulder and back to draw 2 anchor 3 check gap 4 go.

I also shoot three under but I also will go to two under as the distance increases to change my arrow elevation. My natural shooting style causes me to shoot high at close range with two under so I just use that to aid in shooting at longer range. I've found the more I think about what I'm doing the worse I shoot so going to two under takes away having to adjust for elevation. I'm shooting 72 and 80 lbs with my two bows so I don't hold for long but for whatever reason after my surgeries it's easier for me to draw and hold. To think I sold my 70# Hoyt after my shoulder surgery because the doc said I probably wouldn't be able to shoot bows anymore. That was nothing to draw with 80% let off compared to my traditional bows.

Im sure pleased to hear that the Doc was wrong by a good bit in your case Rod 80# is a stud of a bow.I find if I dont follow my steps I usually wing it and dont get concetrated on a spot.
