So I've always shot a wrist trigger release and never have shot it properly. Always have punched the trigger.
So last night at our indoor league I shot back tension for the first time and think I am going to move to this for target shooting. But I was wondering if anyone shoots a back tension while hunting? or has input..
 
After my first year of hunting, I was hearing too many horror stories about punching the trigger, so I picked up a Whalen's Hooker and made the switch to back tension.  I liked it so much that I used it hunting and have never looked back.  I have had no issues using it and in a pinch, I can release it intentionally as well.
 
I've considered going to backtension as well and I have talked to guys who hunt with backtension.  Only argument I've heard is those split second opportunities where you have to get a shot off quick
