65% only when I shoot a compound. It's usually 0%.

Glad to hear that there are a few that use the 65% letoff like myself. Bowhunting is about the challenge. I do not agree with 80-85% letoff and being able to put a big game animal in the record book. Todays bows are so much more advanced, arrows are better, broadheads are dramatically improved over yesteryear. Why should we make it easier on ourselves by increasing letoff? Thanks for your responses. Oddly enough, nobody with a high letoff bow has responed......

I use 65% because of accuracy and it has nothing to do with P&Y.


I disagree with 80% making it too easy or even making it easier.Imo,the high letoff makes it harder.Drawing an 80% letoff bow is harder and holding it steady on the target is harder.And heaven forbid you actually have to letdown.

The only bow that I have ever owned is a 65% letoff Proline Raven. I want to upgrade, but I keep on finding other uses for the money. I have not shot a 85% letoff yet.

Another ditto on what CM said. For me its a 60 lb. Hoyt Ultratec Cam & 1/2 with 65% modules. A real pleasure to shoot.

I prefer 65% also. It's a good thing too, Oregon has a maximum 65% letoff allowed while hunting.[&:]

My bow came with a 75% let off and I had the moduals changed out to 65% to meet the P/Y perameters, but what I found out is if you shoot the 75% and don't pull back to the maximum, then you'll meet these perameters of less than 75%, but since I"m in trophy country, I'm not going to take the chance, my equipment is within the guidelines of P/Y.

I'm at 65%........but I may now play around with the 80% let-off, and see how I can shoot with it. If it shoots as consistent I'll probably change.

Good Luck!
