Default RE: Difference between 65/80% letoff?

I don't know how many times I have walked into a pro shop and the owners "pushed" a bow at me set at 80% letoff. I almost got into an argument at one shop when I told the owner I wanted to pull a Hoyt set at 65%. He told me I would like the higher letoff better. I said no, I've shot bows for many years and if its not 65% I am not interested. Needless to say, he finally found one on his rack that was set at 65%. I didn't buy the bow, but he was almost astounded that I preferred 65%. Same thing happened in another shop with a Matthews LX. It was set at 30"/80% so I pulled it. Although it felt nice I told the shop I needed it adjusted to the 29.5"/65% mode. Too busy at the time with other customers I never got to feel it or shoot it at my normal draw length and letoff. But this is another story about Matthews I will bring up in another topic.

Take a new bow in the rack, a guy already looking to buy or trade, set it at 80% and the hook is set![>:]
