Back Tension Releases

Back Tension Releases . The Longhorn Expert represents the pinnacle of back tension hinge releases, featuring a refined double moon design with adjustable click and fire for a fully customized shot. Its open hook jaw and updated yoke with a spring auto-return hook offer a smoother, more reliable feel. The outdated rubber band system has been replaced with modern enhancements for improved performance. Now equipped with a convenient lanyard hole, the Longhorn Expert delivers precision and control tailored for the serious archer.

This offseason I went down the rabbit hole on how to improve my overall accuracy and consistency with the bow. For years I’ve tried to not “punch the trigger” with your standard index release. It was a constant thought going through my head as I was pulling through the shot, but ultimately given the mechanics it felt like there was always some form of punching the trigger going on. And the results down range always seemed to point to that. My groups were decent, but I knew they could be tighter.

Below is a list of the various resources and training that I used or explored as part of my research. There’s no one right answer, it’s what’s best for you, but ultimately I was in search of how to improve my consistency with the bow for hunting so that when the time comes, I’d be 100% confident in where I could put the arrow – no matter the scenario.
