Default RE: What trade off in let off?

Thank you Arthur,
I am not planning on going to a" High' let-off bow. Course, everything is gonna feel like HIGH let-off to me after shooting a 35% let-off for nearly 22 years. I drew/held my huntin partner' s new bow last year (he just upgraded too!) and I couldn' t believe how long and steady I could stay on target. With my 35% let-off I had developed a routine where I would come up to, but not beyond my target. As I approached the desired target on the up-swing I slowed and calmed and steadied the bow. I learned to release as the pin " touched" my decired POI. It has served me well for the past 20-some years. But man-Oh-man what that 65% let-off is gonna do for my ability to take a few more shots. As it is now, if I have to hold my 35% let-off for more than 20 seconds I MUST let up and rest.
