Justin,
Copper John recommends drawing the Eagle with the Wrist strap........I personally hate that and feel it's the wrong way to use the release.
If you draw with the strap it's hard to get your hand in the correct position and transfer the tension of the strap to your hand and fingers to fire the release properly using back tension.
If the bulk of the weight remains on the strap that frees your finger up too much to punch the release entirely.
If you draw with your hand you have the correct hand position right from the get go and to fire the release all you need to do is relax the other fingers slightly and allow your middle finger to assume the tension as you pull through the shot.........pow, good back tension and a smooth surprise release.
I'd personally even hunt with mine without the strap if I trusted myself not to punt it out of my treestand. For me the strap is simply so I won't drop it.
