You can use it with or without a loop.The rope on the release can be removed and shot directly off the loop if you prefer.

Amazingly enough,they do help to hold on target for those of us that suffer from the dreaded tp.

Not saying you can't punch a bt also,but the shot sequence is much better once you learn the bt.In short,it does help you hold ON TARGET.

Ok TFOX, you talked me into one. I'm willing to give it a shot.

I'm kinda worried about actually using my back muscles to execute the shot. I had a guy at the range trying to show me how to use BT with a wrist strap. I'd never heard of such a thing but he said it could be done. Anyway, I couldn't do it. Hopefully with a true BT release, I will not have any problems. Thanks

You can use a shoe string to help learn how to draw and release with the bt untill you get some confidence in the release.Just loop it and hook the release to one end while hanging onto the other.Much safer to learn this way.[8D]

Just remember the post on the release is there for a reason.

Also, why would you recommend the 3-finger over the 4-finger?

The whole key to the bt release is learning how to fire it,or should I say let it fire properly.

Yeah, whats up with that TFOX? Am I supposed to take your word for it? Anyway, I'll get one this weekend. I'll let you know how it goes.

I just skimmed over it with all the back and forth post that were going on.
I thought you were asking which is better,might have something to do with the cold ones I am drinking.[:-]

The 3 finger is harder to CHEAT than the 4 finger.What is meant by that is a bt actually requires some rotation to fire and a 4 finger is easier to rotate with your fingers(bypassing the back muscles)than a 3.Once learned,a 2 finger is probably the best way to go but not to learn with.

Ok, heres my last question and I'm off to bed. What do you think about the Carter releases that have the safety? I'm just trying to explore all my options.
