and to stop at this place each time an arrow is drawn. Thisdestination of the drawing hand is called the anchor. Theanchor, naturally, cannot be the same place for every indi-vidual as some have longer chins than others and some havelonger noses than others. This anchor must be sought untilone finds a place where one's hand finds a natural and com-fortable position. This should be some place in the regionof the throat. The jaw bone should rest on the forefinger andthe string should contact the chin near its center. The stringshould touch the end of the nose or on the right side of it, ifthe nose is longer than average. The string should be in frontof the right eye. See Fig. 33A.
