apache12 Report post Posted April 22, 2015 Thanks Carp. Good read. I was taught by JR at archery hq to put more finger on the trigger. Helped my from shooting right more often. And then pull back and sort of push forward open grip like the bow is ripping in half. If that is described right. So maybe that's back tension I'm a rifle hunter but I don't punch the trigger on my rifle. Easy squeeze like rubbing a nipple. drill sgt Blake told me Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
120carp Report post Posted April 22, 2015 Anytime your moving your finger, your punching. All it comes down to. If you make your finger like a hook and pull through woith out moving your finger, thats more of a back tension release. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Havasuhunter Report post Posted April 22, 2015 A true back tension release is set to release itself at a preset tension if I understand right. My buddy that owned an archery shop for years prefers a true back tension release. You come to full draw, release some sort of safety, then as you pull against the back wall the release triggers itself for a surprise release. At least that's how I thought he explained it to me. I just used a true ball caliper release. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

120carp Report post Posted May 1, 2015 Try something with a dual caliper. Whats good about shops is that you get to try releases before you buy. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
