[QUOTE="Buzzard Breath, post: 5032966, member: 3158"] Do you have a head-on pick with your gap grip? The reason I ask is that it looks like your using the arrow shaft as another contact point for a consistent anchor point (consciously or unconsciously). This is actually a good thing if it's not tearing up your face. When you anchor with your crawl grip, the arrow rests against your nose higher up, on a more narrow part of your nose and the string catches more of your nostril on the release. With 3 directly under your nock, your shaft rests further out on the side of your nostril and your string tends to hit it less. Fletch an arrow with the feathers about 1/2" further back than they are now and, shooting 3 directly under the nock, use the chocolate chip cookie feather resting against the tip of your nose, instead of the shaft against your nostril, and see if this doesn't help (this is how I know I've reached full draw and have a consistent anchor). Shoot this way until you're muscle memory makes a consistent anchor point, then experiment with moving to a crawl. [/QUOTE]
