Good point, if you stop pulling at anchor, you'll get a nice "soft" release. What I really try to concentrate on is keeping the alignment of my arrow and my drawing arm.When I help my son out I use two arrows to demonstrate the relationship, one arrow representsthe actual arrow, one arrow representsdraw arm, when one arrow lines up directly behind the other, the alignment is correct. When his alignment goes off, I can show him with two arrows what things looked like when he shot. Usually, he will not hit the mark when things are not lined up properly. When they are in direct alignment things usually go well. It's pretty much impossible to get this alignment without using back tension. Your arms/shoulder will only get you so far. That little extra that is needed can only be done from back tension.
