    Been having a problem with my arrows all over the target. I noticed that when I pulled the trigger on my release, I was moving my bow. After changing the tension on my release, I was back on track shooting perfect shots. Now it's time for my first deer with a bow. Has anyone had this problem?

    Are you shooting a finger trigger or thumb trigger?
    A good clean pull through is the utmost key for bowhunting.
    One thing to try is a back tension release. If your release is off, your accuracy will be way off.
    Keep at it brother, take your time, and pull through.

    Also make sure your release isn't too long. You don't to have to "reach" for the trigger. Seems better if you can curl your finger around the trigger.
