Not sure about tension. I curl my fingers before I start to pull so they don't change as I put pressure on the string. Works for me.

You don't want your fingers holding all the weight. You actually want the tension off your fingers in my opinion.i am not a shooting coach but that's how I do it. I use a deep hook and keep your thumb down and your bottom finger in and you'll get a cleaner release. To much tension on your fingers and you'll pluck the string causing all sorts of problems.

I agree with crazynate. You don't want tension in your fingers, other than enough to keep them curled. With the string resting in the first joint, your whole hand can be very relaxed with very little tension on the fingers.
