Explorer Report post Posted January 8, 2022 I'm switching to back tension due to my experience on latest hunt. Between the time I ranged and then clipped in my release the elk had moved and I feel leaving a back tension already clipped on would have given me the few seconds I needed to range properly and shoot quickly. My wrist release slowed me down. 1 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

My wrist release slowed me down. I’ve thought about this before too…then it seems like it takes longer to properly trigger the back tension release (at least it felt that way when I tried one out) so I’m not sure it would be any faster for me.

creed Report post Posted January 18, 2022 I could never master back tension in a hunting situation but used one 75% of the time practicing. I had the yips so bad I could invent ways to punch the trigger. Back tension pretty much cured me of that. It carried over into hunting. I used an HME T handle with an index finger button. It could be shot similar to a hinge. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

dustin25 Report post Posted January 22, 2022 Don’t feel bad, I’ve shot a handful of bucks with my bow, and it still feels impossible and discouraging most days. the key to success for me is to just keep trying anyways! 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
