Default Best 65% letoff cams?

Many single cams will come with a high letoff, over 75% and have an option for a 65% letoff. Of the single cams that I' ve tried with a 65% optional cam, it seems they acheive the lower letoff simply by cutting the valley out of the draw cycle. I find it rather uncomfortable. Creep even a millimeter, and the cam grabs hold and wants to take off.

Does anyone know of a company who offers the optional 65% letoff cam that gives you a true valley before the wall?

Straightarrow, I like Hoyt' s old Redline cam, but I guess it' s not available any more. I hear Mathews has a good 65% cam, even though they advertise it as 70%. I' ve never shot one because they don' t make bows with 33 1/2" draw.

Arthur,

I looking more for a cam that has a higher letoff, but has an optional module to convert to 65%. So far, the ones I' ve tried that do this, acheived the 65% by just cutting out the valley and putting the wall right where the letoff starts to take place. For me, that just doesn' t feel good. I' d like one with a valley, if such a critter is made as an option to a higher letoff.

I' m not sure you' ll find a cam with interchangeable modules that will have the feel you' re looking for, because I haven' t found one... but I sure haven' t shot every cam on the market either.

You can adjust the let off on BowTech' s Infinity cam to almost what ever you like. It comes on about a zillion different bows they make and on my ' 02 Patriot it has been a great performer.

walks with a gimp,

Is there a distinct valley when it is set at 65%?

There is a small valley IMO but you should try one out to form your own opinion. I sure like mine!!!!
