Looking to get a back tension release. Wondering how many of you shoot them? Pros/cons? Will switching to a back tension cause me more harm than good? Heard alot about them, even tried a few but I was told they are hard to get used to. Any thoughts?

I'm right there with you. Been wanting to try one but don't want to cause any issues. Seems like a great training tool. Sounds to me like the most important things to consider are comfort/feel and probably a safety for someone new to back tension like myself. Anxious to see what you come up with.

I shoot a back tension style release and I love it. The only thing is mine does have a trigger. It is the Chappy Boss by Tru-Ball. I use it exclusively now even for hunting. I can just cock it and then lock it on the string loop and let it hang on my bow while in stand. It is a little "clicky" sounding when you release and that is the only hang up I have about it. If they could make it a little quieter it would be perfect. Hope this helps in some way.

if you want to be the best shot that your capable of being ,learn to use a backtension properly. it will take awhile to get it, but once you do, your bullet proof under pressure! for hunting i would go with some type of thumb trigger like mobowguy. i use a carter bk hunter. you use the thumb trigger with the same technique as a true back tension. its best if you have someone who has one to show you how. you won't learn it in a day or two. and they can be quite scary the first bunch of shots!! go for it you won't be sorry. if you have every had target panic you will know what i mean!!!

im 14 i can shoot with them ..but i dnt hunt with them ..the only good thing is ,is tht when u hunt its easier to catch the loop on the string other than chase it around
