anchor cord
Aug 7^th, 2004 at 7:20pm

Hey guys,

I'll define my terms first. The anchor cord is the string that connects to a finger and doesn't go anywhere. The release cord is pinched with the thumb and released.

Personally I always have my anchor cord around my middle finger, and then laying across my index finger (palm upwards). I then pinch the knot on my release cord with it right next the the anchor cord.

However, I have seen it done differently, with the anchor cord dropping right from the dorsal side of the middle finger down to the pouch. Does this method help at all?

If you want to pitch point-first-rifle-spin glandes the loop has to go on the dorsal side if the middle or even ring finger, ....I use the ring finger. This way you get some control over the orientation of the pocket at the time of release.

archeorob took some high-speed stop-action photos recently that show this clearly & these photos should be hitting the site soon.
