I find myself punching the trigger too much

Don't. Back tension won't stop you punching, nothing will stop you except you. The key is to make sure you never punch in practise and then follow that through to competition. Give yourself time and concentrate hard on it.
If the shot won't fire then let down and relax your hands before trying again. No magic fixes, just your own determination and self control.

Although we did a frostbite today and it was very windy, whilst trying back tension all I could think was "get the shot off before the next gust of wind". Not ideal!!

Shooting well in the wind requires 3 things.
1) Good release aid usage. Punching is not teh answer here. Yesyou will hit some shots, but you will not score higher, likely worse.
2) Timing. So many people draw and shoot at the peak of the wind. Listen to the wind, it will come up and down and pick your moments so you are shooting in the lulls.
By doing this I can score near to what I score in calm weather at 70m.
3) Accept you will miss. It is simply a fact that you will score less in wind. Accept it. The key is minimalising your errors. Got a shot that won't fire and you are being bvlown from white to white let down, rest and try again.
