shooting tips to consider........

[BABackcountryBwhntr]

Bare bale shooting is a great way to work on form but switching back to putting the pin back on the"x" is where I struggle. Managing your pin float, any tips on that?

Yes buy a tru ball sweet spot release.  I hunt with one. It's a true back tension with a safety.

I'm really not about  back tension release for hunting.  Draw length bow tune, good broad head flight are critical.consistent  anchor point iskey.eyes closed find a consist an anchor then open your eye and set your peep hieght. Drawing level is key  when shooting up orDown hill. Get drawn  early enough to settle into your shot and don't try to  peak the shot ( ie  followthrough). As far  as grip I've  found the newer bows really are grip sensitive  I've  found that just settling the fingers flat against the front of the riser without forse. Shot from all positions  and slip arrows through gaps and debris that's real life .one other thing is to remember the vitals lower half and mid body lungs a elk every time ,sometimes guys try to get tight to the pocket and end up hitting shoulder,there no reason to hold so tight. . I hope some of this helps  you guys out .perfect shots are hard to come by make it happen with confidence and practice so when it happens your arrow will find its mark.

back tension cures target panic, which is basically the same as buck fever. You have no choice but to remain mentally calm while shooting one.

Unless you start to tense up and end up ripping it off. You can cheat any release you shoot, some are just easier than others

Confidence and familiarity  cure buck fever . I'm just saying in the moment a hook release or back tension release can give on trouble . I've killed 25 plus elk with a bow and never had issues using a caliper finger release.

Working on the practice practice bit, I try to shoot at least every weekend

I have killed my share as well and many with a trigger never said there is anything wrong with them. I still prefer a target style release.

technically yes, that is correct. I have yet however, to see someone really cheat a BT release. I have taught more then a few guys with severe target panic how to shoot one. It would take some epic stuff to do that with one for sure,

Google Terry wunderle and read the articles he has contributed to north American whitetail. Has helped me work out some of my kinks in my form but it's a works in progress

I can back pressure release with a caliper finger release.  Not sure if I even do it when target shooting.  I think it's subconscious and I don't even realize it. I have shot around 100 arrows this week.  It does help with accuracy.  I do want to try the different style of release. Thanks for the write up!

yes you can, that is how I shot mine as well, but with a trigger you can still punch it, whereas a back tension is 20x harder to achieve that with. which is why I hunt with one as well.
