Default RE: Why doesn't Hoyt advertise %let-off?

Yes HoytBows are available in 65-80% Let off, depending on the model.

But I have to disagree with the post about high let off for older folks. My father at 58 has bad shoulders from being a proffesional carpenter is whole life. He shoots a Hoyt UltraTec with 75% let off Cam 1/2 at 60# smoothly with no jump at all. now he can draw more weight than that but that is what he draws smoothly. As for me im still young so im still in good shape,but I shoot a Hoyt trykon at 80% let off with a 72# draw with no jump. Now with the cam 1/2 systems when I see someone draw there bow back and that thing jumps is because there over weighted them selves. The bows are not meant to be drawn back and slammed into the wall its supposed to be drawn smooth as one fluid motion, not pulling real hard and slamming the string back. I know most people like to draw higher weights but you should think about lowering your poundageuntil you acheive that smooth draw. Your groups will be alot better.
