No more let off requirement for Colorado Big Game

Higher letoff is not always a good thing. Deeper in the valley causes a delay in the arrow moving forward.

You will see most target archers will shoot between 18-22# holding weight. But to each his own.

No idea why each guy likes to shoot one way or the other but I have always thought that a lot of target shooters want low let-off is because most of them shoot a hinge/back pressure release and the added pressure helps with activation. I shoot a trigger so the extra pressure does not help me. I actually got better when I went to 90%.

I hold way better with my 80% bow than my 85%. Now to be fair they aren’t the same bow so it’s not a perfect comparison but I can honestly say I tend to shoot better with the lower let off bow.

Because lower letoff is more forgiving. You get 10# or less on the string at full draw and your nose will push that all over the place. If you get the chance, put a high letoff bow in a draw board and see how little resistance the string has to any pressure. It's like a limp noodle.


Now think about being in a tree, shooting an awkward angle where you might be contourted. You lean into the string a little too much ith your nose or cheek, twist with your release a bit more than usual. It really manipulates that string.

Bingo, I watched two dudes struggle sliding a peep at rest and knew they were friction fraying the string doing so. I told them to do it at full draw because the string is loosest then, and they looked at me like I was speaking wookie.

Actually about 60% of them shoot a thumb button. All releases including a wrist rocket should be shot with back tension.

Like I said, to each his own. But the ones that put food on their table shooting at the highest level in the world do not shoot high letoff.

High let off probably helps if someone is over bowed.
