bad anchors and bad anchoring

As an extremely new boater I really appreciate the information in this thread. We certainly want to do things the right way and will find a nice quiet place to practice these techniques before invading the sand bars

One question. If you feel/hear your bow anchor scraping on the rocks and it doesn't seem to be holding perfectly what is the best way to take care of this. Pull up the anchor and try to reset in a different position ?

As for the stern anchors, how do you exactly 'set' the anchor ?
