To me, using a kisser is like wearing a seatbelt. Once i got used to it, i feel totally uncomfortable without it.
it doesnt do any thing to arrow flight! its not necessary if you have a peep sight but i find it more comfortable and easier to find ur anchorI'm fairly new to archery and i have been shooting with some friends using kisser buttons and some not. I'm interested in knowing the advantages and disadvantages of using one. I know that its a good way of having a consistent fixed point when a bow is at full draw but does it have any effect on the flight of the arrow?
Install it where it feels comfortable to you at your normal anchor point then serve it in place. I actually use a rubber eliminator button for a kisser. It's smaller and won't shoot off the string for a VERY long time. I don't put the kisser in the corner of my mouth, I put it to the front of my lips so it moves straight away instead of scraping along the side of my lips. My nose is centered on the string and my index finger knuckle is in the pocket behind my earlobe. Solid three point reference and would be a fourth point if I used a peep but I only use a kisser.Pardon a newbie stupid question, but....how do you determine where to install the kisser button?
So I would need to have a person observing my draw and mark the string where I would install the kisser button?

Why do you suppose then that zero pro target shooters use them?For ALL archers, the advantages are huge. You get a consistent anchor point off of it to help maintain consistent form.
When you have consistent form, you shoot better.
The only con - you lose 2-3 FPS of speed (kissers with the crimping nock tends to be about 7 grains...every 3 grains = 1 FPS loss)
