Now what is "back tension" and how will that help me?

Back tension is THE shooting method used by 99% of professional and serious amateur archers. It is the technique of releasing the shot. Many, probably most, professionals use a release that doesn't have a trigger or button of any kind. There are a couple of different varieties but they all rely on the back/shoulder muscles to actual fire the shot. This technique takes you (and all the error that you introduce) out of the equation.
It's hard to describe exactly on the internet, at least for me. Go to a pro shop and ask them if they can teach you to shoot back tension. If they say no, leave and find another shop, until someone says yes. If you really want to shoot well, there is no other way. Seriously.
Read through this articlefor a pretty good explanation of why and how.
