RE: releases
Greg / Mo,
That's what I have mine adjusted at (1" adjustable), and it does feel the most consistent and helps me avoid "punching" or flinching.
The problem with this "proper" way (fully extended wrist with trigger at first joint), and the reason some people might resist it, is it tends to shortens your draw. Doing this and adding a string loop almost knocked me down 1" on draw.
