Default RE: Back tension release while hunting?

ORIGINAL: KodiakArcher

the reality is that some times you need to consciously trigger the release on a critter. The thumb trigger style is a good compromise between a caliper style and the true back tension style.
I will have to disagree with you I have been using that release and other stans for over 15years. I feel that if you can't get a good BT release off that maybe you don't have as good of a shot as you need and should pass. I will say that this style of release is NOT for everyone.

After reading the rest of the post I can't believe the people that are willing to punch a shot off!

I agree with you first line (If you are going to hunt with a back tension release I suggest you practice A LOT!) but than all the BS came out target panic from a BT release? You don't really believe that do you? I would say it is the opposite punching a release MAY cause target panic to be an issue.

And for those of you that try to use BT but still punch a shot off when needed (as a few have stated) when is it ok to punch (bad release) vs. BT (good release) will you same people say that BT is the more accurate? or is punching the way to go?
