RE: Does let-off % impact speed?
It has a much greater effect when you've got cams with a gradual let-off than it does with cams that have a sudden drop. If you shoot a bow that just dumps you into the stops once it breaks over, it won't have hardly any effect on speed.
My biggest problem with high let-off is it makes it real hard for me to keep good back tension. I need some holding weight to keep my back involved in the shot.
