Are you ACTUALLY Scared of your Surprise Release???

[@a.j.taylor4401]

I have no doubt that the surprise release is way more accurate especially for target archery but the problem i have is that if the deer is moving quick and you only have a small window to shoot ,i dont want it to surprise me , i want it to go off when i want it to. If you are shooting alot of long range shots where you have the time then yea i see your point but for close range quick shots i dont want a surprise release because i dont have the time.

@a.j.taylor4401 hello and thank you for your comment. I see the validity of your comment. I hunt with a wrist strap index style t release for this reason. I still refrain from punching the trigger. But in a circumstance where I NEED the bow to go off when I want it to, I have that ability. However, the purpose of this video wasn't to talk someone into getting a surprise release. Actually, at the end of the video, I talk about shooting YOUR BOW the way YOU WANT to. This video was essentially highlighting the exaggerated arm-flying-backwards movement that people have recently started doing to show people that they got a surprise release. In my opinion, it's ridiculous, and everyone can tell it's fabricated. That was the purpose of this video. Over the last 3 or so years, people have started caring WAY TOO MUCH about what other people think. At the end of the day, let's just shoot our bows, and try to get better than we were the day before. That was my intention of this video... because I agree with everything you wrote. Thanks for watching. Happy hunting!

@@PersonalBestOutdoors I understand what you are saying. I know you were trying to show that a surprise release doesn't make you move you arm that far back lol. Like you said people do that so other people will think they are using a surprise release when actually they aren't. I'm with you on shooting how you want. People care way too much about what other people think and are also quick to say you are doing it wrong. I am not the greatest shot and I don't care anything about back tension and all that. I know it's way more accurate but most of the time I am shooting in a hurry.

@a.j.taylor4401 Amen, amigo. This sport is meant to be enjoyed. At the end of the day, just enjoy it. Forget all the rest. It's just noise. Good luck this year. Happy hunting!
