 Releases Ok guys... I know what a caliper release is. What is a pure back tension release? I assume that this is some sort of release with no mechanical parts... Also, the releases that have an open hook are called what? I am looking for a new release and am not sure what is the best route.

| I haven't used a back tension release yet. My buddy uses one and claims they get rid of trigger panic. He is a club shooter and shoots a lot of arrows weekly. The claim is you won't punch a trigger, but pull through the shot with your back muscles which sets it off. Thats all I know about them, it works for one person I hunt with. The open hook may be for a rope release? Not much help on this one! |

| So, what I'm hearing is that you all think that a caliper release is the best option?

| what ronn said, I do know a lot of tournament shooters use a back release, seems once you get used to it its more accurate. I still use a caliper release and it works for me. This is one area that everyone needs to resolve for themselves by trial/error. |

| For hunting a caliper release is your best choice. Back tension release is better for targets. The reason for all of this is how they work, tension rel. works well in a controlled environment such as targets. Hunting is far from being a controlled environment so your caliper release is a better choice. Sometimes in hunting situations you have to punch your release. |

| Like I said I'm not one to say which is better, I've seen both types in actual hunting situations and both types work well for each shooter. Without starting a warm subject, I would rather not teach new bowhunters to ever punch a trigger. I'm not sure of any shot that I've taken that would have necessary to punch the triggher sooner than necessary. Controlled shots at un-alarmed animals should be thr normal shot,I could use a bit more informtion regarding the punching of thr triger. Lots of bad thingscan go wrongfwith triggher punch |
