If you have access to a safe place to do this, and make sure to control the bow, this is a sure way to test back tension:

Stand close to a target (15 feet). Come to full draw, hit anchor(s), and hold.
Now tilt back (aim at the sky, 30-40 degrees) hold.
Tilt back to level. Hold.
Tilt down as if shooting from a treestand. Hold.
Come up to horizontal and release at target when ready.
If you feel tension in the neck or triceps, shortening of draw, or poor release you are probably not using proper back tension, nor are you bending properly at the waist.
This should be a six to eight count cycle.
This is also a good test for bow weight and ability to manage it.
Less anger, more troubleshooting...

Hey I know Ron, are you sure he can read a ruler   :smileystooges:

The lazy do not roast any game,
but the diligent feed on the riches of the hunt.
