I use the Pro Diamond for hunting and backtension is not an option with this release.It is much like the Chappy Boss but the Boss has a set trigger and can be fired with back tension.The Pro Diamond has to be squeezed to get it to go off.There is too much travel in the trigger for back tension.

It is a great release for hunting.It does allow you to just hang the release off of a loop while in the stand and is ready to go at all times.
