The 99% let off if it works may be an alternative for some disabled folks that don' t want to shoot an xbow.

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.

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 !!!!

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.....

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.
