Ossage, any release should be treated the same whether it be, mechanical or human aided . I would think that anyone shooting archery is always looking for back tension, backtension is a key for any clean release, whether it is a suprise or not is up to the person making it. You don't need a clicker to create suprise, that is what the wall of compound is for. The clicker is only a drawcheck, you can pull through the clicker as much as you want, but if you have tension in your arms, hands, it doesn't really matter how much of a suprise it is, you will hang up on the string or pluck. Tension is the biggest thing in archery I would think from learning by coaches. How to place the tension and take the tension away from certain area's of the body. If anyone has ever watched one of best shooters in the world, whoever they may be. I will bet you that they don't shake one bit (Recurve,Compound) that or those person's have learned to place the tension, to shoot within themselves(subconcious muscle memory).
I am not a person to talk about being the best, I have a far mountain to climb, before even thinking of being among them. Going a little off topic, I hear the phrase alot "Perfect practice makes perfect". But nobody will ever attain true perfection or we would have 1440 all over the place. There are good shooters and great shooters. What seperates the two groups is, good shooters know what they have to do to shoot great. Great shooters know themselves, their equipment and shoot great (No tinkering).
Our nervous system controls our body through super speed signals, our brain sends the signals,(conciously,unconsiouly). Walking is natural, you want to shoot within yourself have to let your brain make archery like walking, something you don't have to think about and just do it. Thats my thoughts. Good shooting.
