    Looking for a Back Tension release

    Looking into a back tension release, I want one that has a string loop and some sort of thumb safety button. Any like that out there?

    Thanks Tony

    Carter Evolution would be my suggestion. no loop but has a thumb safety. just put a loop on the string

    No thumb safety but they do offer a thumb peg.

    Loop or head swing head to use on a string loop.

    In addition to the TruBall, Carter also offers a Solution 3 which is a hinge-style bt release with a safety.

    Also look at the Carter Revolution. I like the feel of it better than the Evolution.


    Best things about these are that you can not "cheat" them. You have to keep proper form shot to shot.

    I'll chime in here

    Hiya,

    I would throw in the True Ball Ultra HT series as well. Adjustable release so you can make it to pull really hard, or not hard at all. Best release I have shot to date. I started with the Carter evolution for the same reasons you are looking for....the thumb safety. After shooting it for about a year, I found I didn't like it anymore because it seemed too random trying to get it to go off. I had a little spongy wall on my old target bow though, too.

    I would sugest a back tension with a safety system. Then once you have mastered that I would upgrade to one that you cought your eye on during your learning curve. Buying two will be worth it in the long run will save you a couple black eyes, arrows, light and what ever else come across in your learning process.

    Steve, I am swinging back and forth from a trigger release to a BT. How sometimes I get better scores with the trigger but I lean towards going ahead and jumping to the BT totally...How long have you used a BT and do you think shooting a BT is the best. I know releases are personal but seems the best shooters stay with BT for the most part.
