    Seems most are using a wrist strap style release.....

    I like the wrist straps because they're attached to me...However, I like the pull through and back tension releases because I tend to aim more, and, I'm becoming an even better shot, with them.

    I modified my Stan Shoot-Off to have a wrist sling. It simply keeps it attached to my wrist, nothing more. It does not influence, or is not involved, at all, in the shot process.

    I have the sling so that 1- it doesnt fall to the ground while in stand, and, 2- if I have to grab another arrow should I miss or make a marginal shot and have a chance for another shot- I dont have to worry about holding the release while holding the bow AND reaching for another arrow.
