larry may do the touch pt, i didn't pay attention to that watching him shoot. we've got a fellow here with even better form than larry - of course they are buddies - and we talked this over the other day - andhis pt is also that you should have no idea what happens. the pt is that a conscious follow thru, or any action performed consciously after release creates something called 'framing the shot'. basically an archer should have no idea what the bow does, or their arm does, or their release hand does after the shot. if you don't know when the release will fire, how could you possibly prepare to do something when it does?its already finished - and it surprised you. if you execute properly, your release hand won't move enough to get to a touch pt.shooting bt, there should not be any more tension created on the string than there is when you acheive full draw position. pulling thru the shot is another method of shooting.
i don't think any of this is possible with a wrist strap that is holding some of the tension, and i also wonder if bt can be executed properly at 70# by me, or most others. i shoot my 2 finger very well with my 70# sb, but with the 60# consti i'm using true back tension. its a lot harder to cheat a 2 finger, but even so w/ the 70# bow i've got a little pulling thru going on also - which i consider cheating - and i'm not meaning to do it, i just do it i think because of the added wt. working on it though. with the 60# bow, i don't cheat at all and i have no idea what any of me does at the arrows release. but that's me and how i'm being taught. you're winning everything you enter, and i'd guess you could shoot me under the table - so what do i know? (you probably are more dedicated also).
