I shoot Stans, Carters and caliper releases with back tension. For the Stans and Carters I prefer a hair trigger. These two are for target only. For the caliper, which is only for hunting, I prefer a heavier trigger pull. It would suck to have your release go off accidentally during a hunting situation. With Murphys law, if that did happen, it would be with the biggest buck of your life![:-]
