RE: Release causing left tear
One thing that worries me is that I have shot through paper in the past with my old rest (NAP QT 2000) and got a perfect tear, with my current release. I just don't know what else to do or what else it could be. I really think my shots through, release, follow-thru, etc.
I do notice when I anchor to my face that I can feel the string loop "twist". This is because I rotate my hand to get my knuckle in my anchor point. Its like I'm not pulling directly behind the loop. Is that what you were referringto TFOX? Would this cause a noticeable nock left every shot?
I'm always going to anchor to my face though but a different release may help.
