I have owned compounds in several letoffs (40%, 50%, 65%, 80%), over the years. I am presently hunting with a 65% letoff bow (because I like the way it feels and shoots AND for p&y reasons). For the experienced shooter I don' t think there is any difference in the shootability for 65% or 80% letoff. I have nothing against 80% letoff, it may help newbies and marginal shooters wound less game(or not)[X(]. Although i personally think that the differences in effectiveness in the woods may be small, when you' re talkin rules, you have to draw a line somewhere. 65% letoff is as good a place as any to draw that line. The Pope & Young club catches a lot of grief over it and people say they are behind the times,but when they set the limit at 65% everybody was shooting 50% letoff bows. The limit has to be set in stone because if it moves where will it end up?lasers? nightvision? backpack missles?.......
