RE: I feel Dumb
I think I responded to you in the Gear Section Forum regarding back tension releases. Apparently you didn't read what I said or didn't understand it. The new back tension releases have a safety on them that prevents them from going off as you draw. They will not fire until you release the safety. Then it is just a matter of pulling through the shot and it will fire. I also don't believe you have ever shot a back tension release or you might tone down some of your comments. They are not for everyone. But, if any shooter works with one long enough to be accomplished with it, he will be a better shooter. Also, even though I don't hunt with one at the present, I can get a shot off just as fast as you can with your trigger release and without punching. I once watched Randy Ulmer shoot a true back tension release at an electrical moving turkey and he center punched the bird for a ten. Don't get me wrong. I am not advocating that everyone run out and get a back tension release. However, they are a valid option and certainly can get the job done. Also, if you think I would use any piece of equipment that might reduce my chances at that "once in a lifetime buck or bull", you must be smoking something that I wouldn't touch.
