Piggy-backing with the thread polling shooters as to their let-off %, I have a question. What is the relationship of let-off to kinetic energy released...if there even is one? Obviously the bow shooter gains the ability to hold the full draw for a longer and more steady period of time. But what (if anything) is lost by stepping up to the higher let-offs. Quietness? Vibration? Ability to hold a tune?
I ask this mostly because I' m going to be upgrading sometime (been saying that for 3 years now) and want to be an educated and informed hunter/consumer when I bite the bullet for a new rig.
For example' s sake, what for instance is the difference between my old wheel bow (PSE Laser) at 35% let-off compared to a bow with fast cams and an 80% let-off. and lets say they are both set at a 65# draw weight. Which is faster, which is quieter, which produces the most energy? If this has already been covered maybee somebody could direct me to the thread that covered it.
