back tension with a hunting release Video

[dbllunger]

I'M with PA on this one.  Heard all about it and if it works for you then great.  What ever makes a person shoot more accurately.

[Hoytstaffshooter83]

exactly thats my point, shooting it will make you more accurate....it increased my scores greatly when I was younger... almost 10 pts a round.. thats huge.. now if I miss the 10ring at 20yrds its a bad shot and pretty damn rare...and thats a 1 in target, could never shoot that accurate and consistent without it..... amnd im shooting pins, no long stabilizers or magnified scopes...

Randy Ulmer sure can shoot a caliber style release, at one time is was ranked as one of the best in the world, not all winning pros shoot back tension releases.

HOYT-  It is hard to convince someone to shoot like this.  I was started on backtension and i believe it is a great way to shoot.  its not the only way but I feel its the best.  You cant punch and all you worry about is aiming.  I use it for 3d, indoor and hunting and it works.  I would not suggest it for someone that only shoots july and august.  it requires alot of time behind the string and for some even a bloody nose

One thing to note, is you still can punch a back tension, or anticipate the release.  Most guys I know that shoot them have a handle full of them.  When you start anticipating the release or punching it they move to another style backtension, and then works but it doesnt break bad habits.  Two of the best 3d archers in this state shoot caliber style releases.

I started shooting a recurve bow with fingers, then I went to a long bow with fingers, no sites. I killed lots of deer. I shoot a compound bow now with sites and a caliper release. I've also seen a guy on the out door channel shoot a aspirin thrown in the air with a long bow with fingers, no sites. What ever works for you. It might not work for the next guy or gal.

your right, hes awesome and he shoots that caliper release with back tension. also he did not compete with a caliper... just like I do... as far as guys anticipating the shots with backtension.. those guys never had it down correctly.. simple as that, if you have a grasp on it that never happens... and you cant "punch' a back tension release, you can however manipulate your wrist to make it go off as well, also incorect...

I agree with you, to me  its the best and only way to shoot, its just really hard for me when guys that have never tried it and have no concept of it try and question what im saying... also I know all about bloody noses.. lets just say thats why I draw away from my face now!!!

Now when you say,""punch' a back tension release". Is this a special release, ie;  back tension release, or your standard caliper release?

I saw that program,he was something else.I started out like you shooting archery,It was really hard to go to sites and a trigger release.But I did and had a good time doing so.I think there are to many gimmicks,its about making money..How did Fred Bear get along?

[PA BEN]

My first compound I shot with fingers and no sites. Man, I could hit good out to 40 yds. The speed and Hi Tect got the best of me.

A back tension release is a release that has a head on it and that has a 1/2 moon mechanism that holds it in place, you draw and aim, then use back tension and the release goes off when you have moved your back elbow enough to trigger it.. here is a pic of one of mine.............

That sure doesn't look like the one in the video
