It kinda works the other way for me . . . although having a heavier release that lets go real suddenly is better than a light pull that is a little mushy. The real issue is getting surprised by the release of the arrow as opposed to trying to make it happen at a given moment. I have also gotten to where I can shoot a trigger type release with back tension - I just kinda lock my hand when everything is preset and let the back muscles do the rest. The Short 'N Sweet release, at least for me, works particularly well for this technique.
The real issue is being able to settle into the release and fire it with an increase in tension,not touching the trigger off.
Light triggers will cause a bad shot sequence ,but you wanta release with little to no trigger travel.The Short & Sweet is a great release and I also use one for hunting.
