Before you applaud high let-off, you best learn about the downside.

RE: 99% letoff
 

Unless you have somebody draw the bow for you and then sit there with it drawn all day long, you' ve still got to draw through peak weight to get to that letoff. High letoff does NOT assist a disabled hunter. In fact, too high a letoff will likely cause more problems, and a disabled hunter already has plenty of problems.

RE: 99% letoff
 

Arthur P. has made 2 great posts on this forum about high letoff bows. Many archers with a very high let off will crank his bow up a few more pounds, but the archer still has to pull that weight at some point in the draw cycle. I have seen some negate their " so called" higher letoff advantage by doing so.[&:]

Just my opinion....and admittedly I do not have the greatest shooting form, but I have found it more difficult to tune and shoot a higher than 65% letoff bow.

My shoulder is hurting just think about this.

RE: 99% letoff
 

a 99% letoff! you wouldn' t be able to creep thats for sure if you move at all the bow would probably tear your shoulder from the socket , right ? i mean it would have a solid back wall probably no valley , like bobco19-65 said my shoulder is hurting just thinking about it !!!!

RE: 99% letoff
 

I don' t know about 99% but I do really like my new LX at 80%. The new HP cam can be set at either 65% or 80% I tried both and am sticking with the 80%.

99% seems like there would be a huge hump in the bow yet my first bow at 50% was almost impossible to pull over the wall. My last bow was OK at 65%, but the LX is way smoother at 80%? If it is true that higher letoff has a larger wall to get over then why is my bow so darn smooth?

I don' t care who you are you can' t hold your arms at draw for very long regardless of let-off. Try this, put a large mug of boiling hot coffee filled to the rim at arms length, now just hold it there, a little longer, ohhhhh now it' s shaking, ok you just burned your hand.....

RE: 99% letoff
 

I totally agree. My dad had to quit bow hunting a couple of years ago because of medical problems. It hurt to hold his bow at full draw. The drawing part wasnt the problem.
I agree this has no place in regular archery season. You could put an arrow on the bow, draw it back and hang it on a hook or branch until you go ready to shoot. [X(]
NAH.
