Just like the title states... I cannot shoot with back tension consistently.
Like most people, I started out shooting a trigger release... Being a perfectionist, it didn't shoot for too long before I got some coaching to make sure I didn't start to develop bad habits.
I progressed in my shooting and would get a tune up session periodically, but eventually plateaued. Back tension was the suggested solution to my issue and I got a couple more sessions from a different coach on shooting with both a hinge and a thumb release.
I shot at blank bales with my eyes closed to get the movement, but it was a struggle to consistently release the shot without me manipulating the release.
I have been practicing back tension and shooting with a hinge and had been determined to not go back to the trigger release until I had mastered back tension. However, I just cannot shoot the fricking thing consistently.
I know what it feels like when the arrow is released correctly, and I know I can do it, but the consistency isn't there.
On a whim, I shot my trigger release recently and could punch that trigger well enough to shoot groups at distances out to 100 yards better than I can with a hinge or thumb trigger.
What's really is irritating though is that after shooting the hinge, I can diagnose all the things I know is wrong about using a tigger release and punching it.
So, obviously I need more coaching and will pursue that, but thought I'd ask you guys if anyone has been through a situation like I described and has any suggestions for me.
Thanks in advance!
