I don't understand the punchin problem, maybe it's just me but I have no problems putting down my recurve, picking up someone's compound with the same draw and shooting a wrist strap with backtension. This isn't ment to offend anybody, but stop thinking so much, that is what causes a release punch, you start thinking and you don't stay relaxed, archery is very instintive, this is why I find that pure stick shooters have advantage over us, because it's all about the body and muscle memory, not sites, no release, a stick shooting a stick. www.truball.com has a very insightful read out on back tension by Larry Wise. From my experience, I have seen backtension releases make some peoples target panic worse, especially when you punch yourself in the lip with one. I agree with thumb or pinky triggers, just not much for a release that makes up its mind before you do.
Good shooting.
