how do you like the tension set on your release?

I like hardley any so when I want to shoot I don`t have to pull the trigger I just touch it off.
how bout you?

Enough that I can feel the trigger thru a thin glove without it going off, but notso hard that it affects my shot.

Soft and light on my index hunting release because it WILL get punched(controlled but punched nontheless.....

No travel and fairly heavy on a double sear thumb trigger for target shooting because it will NOT get punched.

I have about 6 releases I rotate during offseason. I prefer them all to be a little different.

Ranging from light to hard and I even have a BT & relax release in the mix. It keeps me from getting used to where a certain release will go off.

When it comes time for hunting I prefer a fairly light trigger

I like my release so light its scary.

I prefer it a little heavy with NO trigger travel.

I will settle into my release when aiming at a deer and squeeze it off when I need to take the shot or punch it off it that is required but under no circumstance do I want to be scared to lay my finger on the trigger.That causes MANY problems.

I use extremely heavy on a target release.

The last thing I want is a hair trigger.

I like to shoot with some back tension, so I like my trigger to be on the stiff side. But not TOO stiff. I want to be pulling into the back wall when the trigger goes off, but not to the point where I'm over-rotating the cams, if that makes sense.
