release
i have a question about shooting a wrist strap trigger fired release.
we all know to shoot well, you should try to shoot with back tension, not pulling the trigger like a rifle trigger.
ive seen a TON of variation of shooting that style of release. index finger, middle finger, think i watched a guy shoot with his ring finger even...he put fingers on each side of the release like he was holding a handle release and fired it like that....ive seen guys shoot with their hands closed around the release and seen guys shoot with fingers extended out....
just wondering what or if theres a "proper" best way to shoot a wrist strap trigger release...i know i need a BT release to learn what back tension feels like...but know im probably always going to hunt with my trigger release..i want to learn to shoot it properly and the way that will be most accurate...see so many variations, i just dont know whats right....

RE: release
so theres really no right or wrong way in terms of what finger you use to trigger it??
i got the idea of using BT to fire it, and its short enough...just been doing it so long i honestly cant tell if im subconsencly triggering it like a rifle, or if i am using BT...i try to use BT, just dont know if i am...sooner or later im going to get a BT to help me learn and for target shooting....
just see so many shooters using different fingers on the trigger, some closed grip, some extend their fingers out...ive tried it all and dont know what works best for me lol....the middle finger is right inline with the trigger and seems more natural IMO...guess i will have to play with it..maybe go back to shooting with my eyes closed and trying to feel the BT and feel the good release....
