Peep and anchor don't belong in the same sentence.

....and the ones I trust say it's a point of reference. Call it (personally)what you want.

RE: How many points of reference for your anchor(s)
Why would I need to do that, EI....lol. This one was posted before you.....by a national shooter.(Matt/PA)

Your points of contact with your face...hand to jawline, nose to string are ANCHOR POINTS.
Your peep sight is an ANCHOR REFERENCE and SIGHTING TOOL.
It can help to verify that your anchor is correct and that your sights are aligned. It is not considered an ANCHOR POINT because it does not ANCHOR or contact any point of your body and IMO also because it can be variable due to movement up or down within the string.
All anchor points are referencesbut all references are not anchor points. An anchor point must be something that cannot change under any circumstances, your hand to your face and where your string touches your nose for example. If you touch your earlobe, or back of your neck or whatever. Your string doesn't change and your hands , face neck and body don't change...........the things you ATTACH to the string CAN change. you don't rely on them as your anchor, you REFERENCE them to verify your anchor.
I do not consider a kisser button as an ANCHOR POINT even though it contacts your face because it can also MOVE, it is also an anchor referencesimply helping to verifythat your anchor is correct and your sight is aligned.
I hunted last year without a peep sight or kisser button......... just because I could.

vein touching corner of my mouth
string touching nose
knuckle against jawbone
I would think OH CRAP what the heck is wrong..... something is wrong with my peep because I know I'm anchored properly.
string touching nose
knuckle against jawbone
What would you think if you got all your other anchor points set......and looked up to find your peep was 1/2" higher than "normal"?

EI I'm not being argumentative.....I'm wondering how you can read what Matt's saying above....and say in the same breath that he's agreeing with you. NO ONE has said the peep is an anchor point. NO ONE. "WE" have only contended that it is "a" point of reference for your anchor points.
