Default How many of you use 65% letoff

Will all the discussion about P&Y's recent change from only accepting entries of 65% bow letoff or less I was wondering how many people actually hunt with a bow that is in this class. When I bought my bow, I had them change it from the standard issue 75% letoff to 65%, so that IF I was lucky enough to shoot a big buck, I could enter it. I am just curious as to how many of you use similar bows or if the majority are happy about P&Y's decision cause you can now submit bucks taken with your high letoff bows.

65% letoff here and my reasons for shooting 65% has nothing to do with Pope and Young. I have tried several bows at higher letoffs and I hate them. I shoot more accurately with 65% or less and I get a little more speed and less shock.

I've got that 70% let off, but rated at 65%, so my bow currently has the legal amount to be entered into pope and young without the new rules. Regardless, I think I'll be hanging out in the 65% range for a while since I am happy with my current bow.

Mine is 65% by sheer coincidence.

I have 65% also. Same as Coug, it has nothing to do with P&Y. Alot smoother draw imho and the increased speed cant hurt.

I shot fingers for many years and 65% let was much better for fingers and when i switched to release i saw no reason to change.
