has anyone played with am adjustment from 80% to 65% let off? also how much trouble is it? do you have to put it in a press?

Yes always use a press, you have to move the cam a bit, I am pretty sure, and have to move the string to a different notch on the cam!

No you don't have to put it in a press, it's as simple as unscrewing an allen head screw & putting it in the other hole. Whichever hole you decide to keep it in remember to locktight it. Very simple.

That's correct.....no press ! Just moving the draw stop peg to the 65% hole ! Only tool is a allen wrench ! I haven't tried it on my Outback yet .....but on my LX it basically removed the valley ! With any creep what so ever.....the cam would roll over ! The Outback already has a pretty narrow valley so I imagine setting it to 65% will be the same or worse than the LX ! And in case you didn't know......when you adjust to 65% your draw length will be reduced by 1/2" because your cam stops before it's full rotation !
My LX was 1 fps faster on 30" 80% than it was on 29.5" 65% ......just in case anyone is wondering ! Good Luck !!

In addition I noticed this at my club. As stated above its just one allen screw. It has a rubber / plastic bushing around it as a bump stop. My Shop had a couple of different size bushig that he fined tuned to get the valley / wall he wanted. Very cool!!!!!
