say that your draw weight is 70 lbs. when you are at full draw, say you let off is 50% you are only holding back 35lbs. B/c 35 is half of 70[8D]

Let's say for simplicity you are pulling 100 pounds with an 80% let off. Initially you pull 100 pounds when your cams turn over you'de be holding 20 lbs.

It is the percent of poundage that the cams take off at full draw. So say you shoot 60 pounds, and your cams have 75% let off, then at full draw you are only holding against 15lbs of pull.

THat answer it?
