I've been using the same release for about a year or more now and find the back tension to be inconsistent at times. I've spent time tweaking the resistance once I pull the trigger "safety" and find it takes different amounts of pressure at times. This causes me to really anticipate the shot not knowing if it's going to go off when I hit the safety like it does from time to time or the amount of pressure it takes to release during a pull through. My realese is from the very first batch he launched and I'm not sure if small revision have been done since. The release hook also ate through my d-loop after about 100 shots. I had to polish the edge down since it was very rigid. I do love the quality and thinks it's a great index release, but not so much a back tension style. Curious if you've had this issue since using it.
It’s definitely taken me some time to get used to it. I’m still not used to it but I’m starting to shoot better with it. Today we worked out to 80 yards. I’ve got about a 1’ group over 5 arrows. Part of it is I’m not that good yet. The other part is stuff starts getting blurry for my 48 yr old eyes lol
I have a silverback release and after shooting it for about a 1-1.5 years I noticed what you’re describing. I opened it up and lubed it and it was much smoother and had consistent breaks. Not sure if youve tried that with this release
Yes sir I definitely was. Thank you and the others for the advice. My son shot with me when he came home from college for a weekend and caught on to that. I believe I have that part getting better. Still learning each day.
As an old old archer, you might want to shorten the strap so your finger hooks deeper over the trigger. Helps eliminate the conscious thought of firing with finger " twice, punch etc"? Good Luck. For hunting I still sometimes use my old Carter Quickie Plus trigger release. All other shooting, 3-d & practice, I have gone to the Carter Wise Choice thumb. I have it set up so there's no thumb movement as my thumb wraps around the knob and rests against my index finger and locks down there. This creates a back tension set up like what you are doing. POTATO-potato?
Thank you for the tips. I’m learning this compound stuff all over again. Technology is definitely different than it was when I learned to shoot 35 years ago.
You need to load up your back I put more back tension on it wrap your finger around the trigger squeezed until the safety gets engaged then tightens back in till shot breaks
You are shooting to the left because of your grip. It's putting torque on the bow, naturally pulling to the left after release. Keep your fingers from touching the riser at full draw. You won't drop the bow I promise.
Looks good keep practicing you will get better!!!
Appreciate the content brother. Good luck!🤙🏻
Thank you

Watch a video on John Dudley or podium archery on proper grip on the bow. It looks like your torquing the bow to the left with your left hand grip.

Good job keep it up
Thank you
Still shooting this? Would love some update as to what you think after a year?

Thank you. I’ll keep after it!!
Its been a while, do you have an update on using this release? Did it get better?

Thank you for this. My son came back from college and caught on to that also. 👍👍
