^^^^What will that do???

RE: follow through?? *** new video***
 

i will post a video in the morning, (its 8:40 PM for me) but if i am only hunting is the back tension really important, cause i dont think i have really ever seen any bowhunters on TV shoot like that.

The longer whiskers make more noise.

Bowhunters on TV are just like us, normal people always learning. I hear a lot of people in leagues say they are hunters not atarget shooter, butwe all owe the game we are after every bit of respect there is, a bad shot on an animal should be frowned upon way more than a bad shot on a target.
Miller all releases are meant to be shot with proper backtension, just 95+% off the people using releases don't/haven't learned the proper way, sure some people will shoot good commanding the release but if you were to find the most proficiant archers out there, chance are they are not. I have seen people spend hours on a range doing what they think is practice, when really it is just shooting.

Remember the only way you will outfind what worksbest for you, is to give each way an honest chance and then stick with the one that yields the best results.

I just checked back on this thread and backtension is giving some good advice,However,it would be nice to see a front view as well as the back view.

i used a bt enough to where i got the feel for back tension but i can still shoot better with my caliper release now. the cool thing about it though is that im learning how to incorporate bt into my trigger release. its like a robotic process. instead of using my finger so much to trip the release i am using bt and pulling through the shot. it really helps.
miller, just relax, let everything do what it wants. you dont have to stand there in perfect form after you shoot, or roll you bow. just let everything happen as if it were a suprise.

This was my experience as well. I shot a pure back tension release enough to appreciate its value. Also enough to get a fat lip and red nose [8D]. But I have carried its technique over into my regular Tru Ball strap hunting release with good results. I am going to have disagree with you, Backtension, however; I don't think most regular trigger releases are intended to be fired with back tension.

There are definately some cheaper releases that are next to impossible to shoot with bt,way too much trigger travel and I believe the glove style releases are not conducive to bt.

I will post a video in a little bit, thanks for all the advice guys, hopefully i will be doing it right soon.
