Or am I the only fool? Actually I have been using a back tension release for deer hunting for about 10 years now and I would never go back. After 3D season I used to try and switch from my back tension release to a regular release for hunting. I shot OK but shoot much better with the BT release and the shot is so pure! Also used to worry about the rope attachment taking too long to attach to the string in a hunting situation but I solved that by simply keeping it attached at all times. I use a Carter that does have a light trigger, I think a Stan or other rotating release might be too much. Just curious, have never heard of anyone else doing this but I am sure there are some.
