good idea to use different anchors for gap shooting, to get more point-on distances?

By

I'm shooting an old wood-fiberglass recurve with no sites. Gap shooting for my aiming method. I've noticed that if I anchor at the corner of my mouth with a 3-under grip, my point-on distance is about 25-30 yards. If I anchor below my chin with the string touching the front of my nose (sort of olympic style), my point-on distance goes to about 40 yards, with 3-under grip. Then, if I anchor this same way, but use a split finger grip, my point-on distance bumps up to 50 yards! It feels pretty nice to have different point-on distances from 25 to 50 yards that I can use. It makes my gaps smaller in the between distances.

It's really just two different anchor points, but for the olympic style anchor I switch between 3 under and split. Do you think this is a good idea, or is it going to hurt me in the long run to be switching anchors and grips so much? Should I just pick a single anchor point and stick with it, and learn to compensate for larger gaps? My main goal is target shooting on outdoor courses and at the outdoor range.

I would take a takedown recurve bow as my primary SHTF/bugout weapon

This is the type of opinion that is subject to change. In the near future, deteriorating political, economic, and social circumstances may result in many people having to rely on weapons to obtain food and defend themselves on a regular basis. Alternately, some people desire to leave civilization for a life of self-sufficiency in the wilderness, perhaps temporarily, and will encounter the same challenges. Generally, firearms are the preferred weapons among people who seek to prepare themselves for these events. I have owned and used a wide variety of firearms over many years and own several right now. If I had to pick one weapon to serve as a primary weapon (a full-size weapon intended to be used offensively, such as for hunting, and carried in the hand or by sling as opposed to a secondary weapon, which is complimentary, used defensively and carried on-person and possibly concealed, such as a handgun) I just might prefer my ILF recurve over any kind of rifle or shotgun. It's ad

Having Trouble Figuring out a Backstop Situation

By
When I was around thirteen, I got my first recurve bow, and every weekend I practiced really diligently. I feel like I got pretty good for a casual archer. But having to wait for the weekend and going to the same indoor range just to shoot my bow for an hour or two got boring. So as life got busier, I stopped shooting as much. Alas, this is my sad tale. Now I'm 22, I live in a new area, and got a new awesome 50# recurve bow! The only problem is, I don't have the time or the money to go to an indoor range, and I'd just run into the same problem. I feel like my backyard is big enough, I called the city and they said so long as I'm not shooting at other people's houses or if I have a large enough structure in the path of my shot, I was clear to shoot in my yard. At the moment I'm looking at shooting at the side of my garage where it's probably around 10ft wide and about as tall. I don't think I have quite 30ft of distance, maybe not even 25ft, but don'
