| RE: Back Tension
Hummm, just to be a bit of a devils advocate;
After much reading of books and self-coaching I used to shoot using the muscles and technique Barry has described. I felt I was doing pretty well too. Then at the beginning of this year I attended some performance clinics organised by our local coaching group. I was shown ( with the aid of video ) that my hand came back and down on release. The coach took some time convincing me ( no easy task ) that I would get a cleaner release and consequently better groups if I could make my hand come straight back or slightly up. In making this change it was necessary to change the back muscles I was using, to include muscles higher in the back. Guess what after many weeks work making the change, my groups improved significantly, just like the coach said !!!
