Does anybody now what a good release would be to start out with. Think about trying them out like my mongoose though.What about the zenith line,should i go with three finger or four.And does that thumb post help you any?

If you can aim, hold your bow, and trigger your current release without flinching, punching, freezing or manefesting any other form of target panic,and are hitting what you aim at, then I would suggest that you use your current release. I use back tension because I developed target panic years ago shooting NFAA field rounds (fingers/recurve). The surprise release (at that time a clicker, back tension) enabled me to enjoy shooting again because I was able to hold on target (aim) and let the release happen by itself. My form of target panic was freezing with the sight below the target, then I would release as the sight moved through the target. It was very frustrating! I know of many people who use trigger releases who shoot great scores on the 3D course. Some of these individuals use back tension and some don't. I guess my point is that if you are shooting well (3D, field rounds, spots, whatever) and are enjoying it why change? I hear arguments that one will never realize their true potential (shooting a bow) uless the release happens by surprise (back tension). I changed to back tension out of necessity in order to continue with the sport, not because I wanted increase my scores (although my scores did increase and I was able to aim again).By the way, you can still flinch, punch, and shoot on the move with a back tension release. I curently use a Carter Solution 3; however, you can shoot most releases utilizing back tension (Mongoose included). Again, if you are hitting what you are aiming at and are enjoying your shooting, why change? If you are not, try back tension.

Since you are new to back tension I would recommend one with a safety. It allows you to draw without fear of the release going off before you want it to. T.R.U. Ball, Stan and Carter all make models with safeties. Just my opinion. :sad:

i started shooting with one about 2 months ago as a training aid it really helps me hold target better and reduce my pin float alot i havent shot a tourney with it yet but i do warm up with it and then switch back to my fletcher i think it has helped me shoot more 12s :-x DR

Get a TRU BT Gold 3 or 4 finger. Yuo do not need a safety so long as you understand that your index fniger has to have tension on it.

It is not hard to learn but is tough to master
