Default RE: Back tension release?

hey, i was making a joke ok. i shoot a thumb trigger and use back tension to release. i went intermediate to the push and pull method michael braden uses and then moved to back tension. the big advantage is i don't feel like i have to do anything to release the arrow but aim. by relaxing my forearm and hand, but not enough for the release to fly out of my hand, and then slowly tightening that muscle who's name i forgot, the arrow will release at some point and nothing moves. its a much calmer and mentally relaxed way of shooting. there is not that point of 'ok, i'm going to fire' when the flinching and punching happens. there is no dropping or letting go of the bow arm, really, there is nothing. it doesn't feel like i'm doing anything, and that's why i like it. i have not shot a triggerless bt release, but when i have some cash i will. you'll see your arrow flight improve dramatically also.
