Ok, this back tension thing is REALLY, REALLY beginning to aggravate me. I practice w/ my string loop all the time and have no problems at all. I hook up to my bow and boy oh boy.......nothing works right.

It doesn't seem to me I should have to contract my muscles that damn hard to get that thing to fire, and in fact, there are times when nothing I do can make it go off. That is, until I let down to restart the shot.....then it goes off, sure.......arrow goes only god knowswhere. Then, there is the OCCASIONAL time when it works perfectly, but they are few and far between. I have loosened my grip on the release, relaxed my arms, shortened my DL, nothing works. I am obviously doing something wrong, but I have no idea what.

I've set the release a little lighter, but then it goes off when I am at half draw. So I set it just a tick heavier, and it won't fire. I know the most common problem is a DL that is too long, but is it possible mine is too SHORT?? I ask because my rope loop is a bit longer and it works very well. Hell, I don't know, but it shouldn't be that hard to get that baby to release.

To be honest, I'm just about to give it up.
