Bowmar nose button

raisins said:
I have the small one on my bow. I have a sliding pin sight, so you have to get used to it changing position on your nose as you move from close to long ranges (I practice out to 70 yards). (this is gripe I have about sliding pin sights, to keep the sight housing centered in the peep you have to move anchor slightly)

At first, it hurt my shooting because it was making me overthink my shot process. Now, it is starting to help again. The large one change the position of my head to my string by enough to change POI slightly at longer ranges.

I have to Change my anchor point when I slide my sight too. Do you like the nose button better than a kisser in that situation? When I shoot farther my kisser is more down on my chin. Where’s the nose button touch when you shoot farther?

This year I used the nose button with a single pin with no peep and LOVED it. Shot a caribou at 83 yards and three bucks from the saddle. Worked perfectly and I won’t be changing anytime soon. I shoot very accurately out to 100 with this setup.

What does your sight picture look like? Where do you line up your string in your sight picture. I’ve been wanting to ditch my peep.

I am curious about this as well on how others sight picture looks.

When I first decided to hunt without a peep I would look down the left side of the string lining up the pin to the string (Right shooter).
Since setting up the nose button on my bow I found I prefer to look down the Right side of the string with my right dominant eye and line up the pin keeping both eyes open while aiming.

Hope that explanation makes since

Well this thread is timely for me. I've been looking at these since I ran into them during my heavy arrow build research. I never used to use a peep, but I put one on when I got my new bow, so I could be one of the cool kids and to help my accuracy which I never had a problem with at hunting range anyway. I hate that the peep rotates and while it hasn't cost me a shot yet I would like to eliminate the peep but add the additional anchor reference. It sounds like everyone is finding this helpful, so I ordered one. Good job stimulating the economy Saddle hunters!

It's lower down on the nose. It moves slowly down that nose, so there is no way to memorize "my nose button is at THIS spot on the nose when shooting 45 yards". It moves much less at close range (similar to how the sight doesn't slide as much).

I'm contemplating going to a 2 pin set up (25 and 40 yard pins) next year, so that will solve it.
 
Do you guys that have them think it would work better than what I bee using which is the serving which froms what we call a nose booger. I work at a bow shop years ago and we all put the nose booger on our string . Do you think it would work any better ?

There’s at least two reasons the answer could be yes: (1) when nose is cold the light prick is more likely to be noticeable, (2) when a deer is behind the pin and you’re worked up it may be a little more apparent when you are / are not getting the light nose prick typical for your proper anchor.

I been using it for so many years it's like second nature. I was wondering if it would be better and worth the change. Thanks for your input.
 
I look to the left of the string. The string lines up with the edge of the riser. I pay zero attention to the string in the shot process. I simply anchor my hand against the back of my jaw bone, set the nose button on the side of my nose, aim and squeeze. I also don’t change anything with my anchor when I adjust for longer range with the single pin

i recently purchased one, and in the mean time was given another so i've got an extra around somewhere if anyone wants it. havent mounted it yet but i think it'll help me a lot finding/developing a more consistent anchor. i tried out a kisser and did not like it

Not that I’m aware of but I think you could easily DIY one it’s just a piece of plastic with sharp little points
