Well, I've learned enough about back tension and BTR's to know I need to get one. The question is......which one? There are just too many for me to choose from, and I don't know too much about them. I know the thing to do is to shoot as many as I can, but target archery isn't very popular at our shop and we just don't carry any. Soooooooo.....I'm gonna have to pretty much know which one I want and order it.

Any suggestions? Oh, I don't think I would like a rope release, and I also don't think I would want one with a thumb safety.

I've done some looking and found one I think I might like. The TruBall Tru Tension Ultra 3. Any opinions?

I've heard about them too, but never used one. So, I'm not sure either... Sorry. Maybe check out that big archery site called "archery talk" www.archerytalk.com and check the main forum where they have serious target archers and professional 3D shooters in there.

The Zenith releases are a great quality product at a reasonable price. (www.zenitharchery.com)

I have worked my way though many.....many BT releases and always seem to come back to the Zeniths.

They are made well, the fit and finish is awesome and for me they just "fit"

Another thing to consider is Zenith offers what they call a training kit. It is essentially a BT release with a VHS tape or DVD that shows you the correct way to draw and shoot the release without punching yourself in the mouth.

If you are going TRU Ball I would recommend the BT gold instead. Both are excellent choices, however the head on the TRU Tension is designed for release rope, not string loops. It may be a bit harder to get off compared to a BT gold.

To be honest, I am seriously thinking about using release rope. I would bet money it would help save you left right fliers quite a bit. You can shoot that also on a BT gold.
