Right down to this post, I am trying to learn more about back tension and how to achieve it. I shoot a compound bow with a release aid and I find myself punching the trigger too much. I might be trying too much to pre-empt the release I do not know. Also how do you know when you are using the right muscles as opposed to the wrong ones.

Looking forward to all your ideas.
it is a long winded process to explain in one email. it all starts with your whole set up, stance posture, predraw....
you need to get one of your club coaches to have a look at you and help really.
But try using a stretchy band first and see if your final position is different to when you actually shoot that is a good starting point..
