RE: Teaching an old dog a new trick ( Release Question)
While the backtension method of shooting will most often improve one's skill level, does it apply to your type of shooting needs? I know ofsome tournament shooters who can properly utilize BT when hunting, but it is a HARD thing to master for tournament, let alone hunting.
And many think that it is strictly a release. It is not. Wrist releases can be used with BT style/form quite easily. Many think that BT releases can't be punched. They can.
As I stated in a thread concerning draw length, questions must be answered about the application before any advice can be properly given/applied.
I teach many of my customers back tension with their wrist/hunting releases. I also teach them form issues that, when coordinated with many other applicable issues, cuts down on target panic concerns and allows for various alternative shooting styles.
