Not to get off track Rick but I see in your avatar that you are shooting with a thumb trigger release. I have thought of going that route this year because I like the idea of anchoring my knuckles behind my jaw like that.

Is that thing a back tension release or is it a thumb trigger??

How do you like it compared to the traditional index trigger?

That one is a hinge aka back tension. I like it a LOT more than traditional index finger releases, it prevents me from developing bad habits. Lots of guys can shoot well w/ a index finger trigger though, look at Michael Braden to name just one top notch shooter that likes an index finger trigger. The hinge just works best for me.
