Default RE: my release stinks!

A lot of good advice given. Different things will work for different people. The shot sequence system. No target. Some will go a step farther and shoot a bare bale with their eyes closed (up close of course) over and over in an attempt to train the mind.

The frustration of course is the harder one tries the worse it gets. Here is what helped me.

Some people call your index finger your " thinking" finger. To trigger your release or your rifle your brain tells your finger to " pull" and thus you anticipate the shot. I used a number of Scott releases (all of them were good quality) that fired using my index finger. I didn' t get " well" until I went to a release that fired in a different way. I used a Stanislowski four fingered back tension release. I should warn you there was a learning curve. But it helped me beyond measure. I also shoot a Carter BK which is trigger by the thumb. Again it takes the anticipation of the shot out of the picture. I shoot these releases all summer so when fall comes I no longer anticipate the shot and can handle a " fire on command" release for hunting.

I wish you well and good luck.
