All,
My glasses, bump on my nose, and big jaw and cheek bones means my form is a bit different. I cannot get comfortable with a handheld release (thumb or back tension) without really making my draw length too long. So, I've always had to use wrist straps, which have caused me to sometimes have target panic (pin locks under target). I don't have this on 3D or deer though because there is no visible dot.
I ponied up and bought the resistance activated back strap release. In one week of shooting, I am experiencing no target panic and I can tell that so long as I practice correctly that this will be a huge help.
The head on this thing is long though compared to my Scott release. So, while I was spending money, I got a Carter Like Mike that is similar in size. That way, I can set my draw length and d-loop up and practice with the Back Strap and then hunt with the Like Mike (not sold on the idea of a resistance activate release in a deer stand).
They aren't exact but here are pictures of the Back Strap on top of the Like Mike and then another one vice versa with the hooks lined up.
From the factory, it came set to break at 16 lbs, which happens to work perfectly for my bow. So, I can't comment yet on how easily and well it adjusts.
It's weird the first few shots, but you quickly learn to trust it.
The Back Strap is the one with the longer trigger.
