Default RE: Back tension release while hunting?

Kodiak,

I like that you answered my question, and the answer you gave was well written. But shooting a 3-d target and hunting are very different, I would take the 3-d shot you explained but in a hunting environment any moving shot will lower your odds. If I can't get a standing still shot or a slow moving grazing shot I will not take it. Have I missed out on shots because of that? Yes and that is my choice.

Paul,

(I have seen many that shoot a pure back tension release have their shot sequence go to hell when they figure out they can make it happen. My girlfried did it last year. I had to go back and have her start blind bale shooting again to get it fixed.)


This statement you have made is very interesting I will say that ALL of the people that you have witnessed this happen to didn't fully have their BT shot down, BT shots are more about control, controlling your body, actions, aiming, and emotions. If they had total control than target panic wouldn't have been a factor. This is why in my mind BT is not for everyone, because to achieve these things it doesn't just happen it takes time and effort.

I don't in any means try to sell BT to the average hunter, it takes 1,000's of shots to get it right, and than it takes 1,000's of more shots to keep the right form.

I do respect your opinion and I hope you respect mine.

Paul
