Default RE: Trigger punching???

One thing you can try is to trigger your release with back tension. There are many back tension releases on the market, but you can use back tension on a caliper type release as well. It will not work on a release that straps to your hand like a wynns free flight. For the caliper release, when you draw your bow and anchor, hook your finger deep over the trigger. Get it at least to the first joint or further. Once you are hooked deep on the release, your finger is just that, a hook. You do not bend your finger anymore. Now, while you are concentrating on aiming, you squeeze your shoulder blades together and point your release elbow directly away from the target and use a slight push pressure with your bowarm directly at the target. The release should go off durring this process. It will be a complete surprise when it does. This is what you want. Remember, do not think about the release while doing this. All you are supposed to think about is aiming while you are simultaneously squeezing off the shot. Like someone else mentioned, it is a good idea to practice this at 5 yards from the backstop with your eyes closed to get the feel of what ti is like before moving to normal shooting distances.
