Default RE: 99% Let off bow

Well if it helps those with disabilities keep hunting then it's a good thing. I doubt the "masses" would buy it.
However being able-bodied, I don't know if someone with a disability serious enough to limit them from using
a 65-80% let-off , would be able to pull it back to the let-off point? I would doubt that "holding" is the issue it's probably the initial pull.
True. It's not the holding weight, it's the draw weight and the force draw curve. That's exactly why the idea of ultra high letoff being helpful to those with disabilities is a crock. The thing still has to be drawn and bows with very steep front and backslopes and flattoppedcurves on the graph are horrendous or impossibleto draw if you've got bad shoulders or such.

I think it's a gimmick designed to suck money out of the wallets of the clueless. And it kicks the door wide open for those who want to use crossbows in bow season. I vote bad.
