whats the best release to use for shooting league? just a normal hunting release or one of those back tension ones? and how do the back tension releases work? thanks 
Hunting is not life and death. It is more important than that.

I just use my hunting release for leagues, works great for hunting....why change?

I've never used a back tension, so I guess I don't know if it's better.

reg release or one of the hand ones that very few people use to hunt/target you hit with your thumb

It's handle or nothing. I shot my first 300 with a Carter Just Cuz and I now shoot a Carter Plain 1. They greatly reduce shooter error over a conventional wrist strap release. I even use my Plain one for hunting.
