I've worn dentures for about 30 years now.
I've only ever had two pairs, the first pair being very good and the latest pair being pretty average.
I've also had this reoccurring left/right issue with my shooting for quite a while but it's not something I had when I was younger and didn't wear dentures.
I've always anchored in the corner of my mouth, indexing on my eye tooth.
Or at lest that's what I thought I'd been doing.
Like I said, the latest pair of dentures is not that great and not a copy of my original fangs like the first set was.
So yesterday I was thinking over this left/right thing yet again and got to looking more closely at my anchor and I discovered I was no longer indexing on my eye tooth like I used to because it doesn't really stand that proud of the others like my real teeth did and my first set of dentures also did.
So I started concentrating on indexing on the poor attempt at an eye tooth I have in there now and more or less saw instant improvement.
Coming back inside I watched in the mirror as I tried my new/old anchor and compared it against what had just become a sort of floating corner of the mouth thing and found the correct anchor is giving me 5-10mm of extra draw length depending on weather I anchor in front of or behind the tooth.
So I'll work on keeping my anchor consistent just behind that tooth for a while and if the improvement stays consistent I'll have to modify the tooth with a small bump so I can feel it without having to think about it to much.
Maybe a small Sapphire or something like that.
