Cold Bow 2026 QnA Thread

@darrenk75b welcome to the CBC and good opening shot (post #96)

you mentioned let-off on your hunting bow vs target bow.

Something I've always wondered, my old Martin was 65% let-off and when these new bows came out with like 80/85%, I'm not convinced I'm shooting better. Yes, I can hold longer, but muy accuracy isn't much different. Is this just in my head or will less let-off help a guy shoot better?

Less activation/reliance on the stronger, more stable back muscles? I could get behind that theory.

I shoot a Reckoning Target bow at 60lbs and a Solution hunting bow at 70lbs. The let off on the Reckoning has no creep and a higher holding weight than the Solution. I shoot it much better for sure but I wouldn't want to have to hold it vey long waiting for an animal to position right.

Got my 2nd shot in finally, I think I am going to reevaluate my sight after this cold bow. I also want to try the small wire stabilizer instead of the beer stinger bar combo I have.
