Rescue Throw Technique

Hi everyone,

after doing some simulated throws of my two reserves in the simulator and one in real life, I am still puzzled about three things:

1) In a SAT like autorotation, which is best: Throw your rescue backwards and downward (as the DHV suggests) or backwards and upwards (as some well known acro guys suggest)?

2) Do you pull out your rescue in one fluid motion or in two steps (1. pull out of harness, 2. actual throw)?
