Evening, y’all. I just made a pretty significant investment in a loaded new bow, new arrows, etc. and have been kicking around the idea of switching releases. I currently shoot The Claw by B3, an open neck index release. I actually really like it and I shoot pretty dang well with it. No target panic, I’ve always been able to get my shots off with bucks behind the pins, so this isn’t a move out of desperation. But I’ve heard great things about thumb and tension releases.
I’m most curious in the back tension being used for hunting. I understand The concept and it makes sense… but idk if I like the idea of “guesswork” being a factor as to when your bow will fire when aiming at game. It seems almost irresponsible given an animal can move right before the release would fire. With that being said - do any of y’all hunt with back tension releases? Assuming so, pros? Cons? Favorite releases? Any tips?
Back tension aside, anybody have experience switching from index to thumb? Same questions here (pros, cons, recommendations, tips, etc)!
Thanks very much, y’all!
