I have a brother?

I can't get used to the BT either. I wouldn't say I punch... but it sure aint back tension.

"The more hand there is on the bow, the more the problems that can occur."

that really makes no sense whatsoever.

The statement is self-explanatory.

But not absolutley accurate in all instances IMO. By using a very high-wrist grip, you'll have little hand contact, but quite a few muscles involved in holding that form. And with a low wrist grip you'll have a little more hand contact, but usually have better bone on bone structure which is much more repeatable over a shooting session. Fewer holding muscles are involved in a low wrist grip. Fewer muscles involoved = more consistent (generally). That's why you see most of professional shooters use a low grip. Not saying you HAVE to use a low grip to be accurate, but if a high grip was inherently better you'd see all the pros doing it (and vast majority aren't). When money is on the line, they go with what works.

In a few different areas...

I probably shoulda said "consciously" in my statement, as at the release, my release hand moves backward slightly...

But it happens automatically, probably more of a result of pulling into the wall.

Thanks for the link mantis , some good info there

Mantis Mayer

You bet! It's loaded with great info and has helped me out alot with target and 3D shooting.

I searched on there for the guy who put it together and found it was Bill Pisechko. Hope he doesn't mind me pluging his link here.

Black Frog:

The statement did not apply to just a grip. The statement is a play (joke) on various versions of how well a bow does before someone picks it up and tries to shoot it.

"My arrows are perfectly straight. Why don't they fly straight when I shoot them?"
