    Scott and Carter index releases. I love the hook-type release that allow you to nock an arrow and hook up to your loop without ever taking your eyes off the animal.

    I do have a back tension release that I'll practice with whenever my target panic starts acting up.

    Well just what I thought. Almost 90 Percent use index and small amount use thumb and fingers. and none chose back tension. I thought it was odd that the guy in the video would use a BT release. I totally understand why he wants to but I dont beleive that hunting whitetails in the hardwoods is the correct forum.....thoughts?

    Was cost a factor in your purchase or did you buy what you liked no matter what the price tag was.
