Didn't you say they removed the stop pegs? If so,you could put the stop peg in the 65% letoff hole and put a short loop.Then get arelease that is designed for a loop and probably be in way better shape than you are now.

That shop should never have put the nocksets on like that,that will definately cause problems.
Well,if youthink the acute angle of the string isn't causing some interference in the arrow launch and thus flight, I think I'll just go with an eliminator button. If you think it could be, I'll try the loop and see if I like it.

Most will shoot better with the lower letoff,trust me.There isn't any advantage to using the high letoff,even in the woods.

A doewalked in on a trail I was guarding. As it walked behind the big tree I'd already picked out as the time to draw, I drew. This doe was moseying as it came in and continued to mosey while behind that tree. I held my 65% let-off Cybertec for over 2 minutes before it decided to step out. When it did, the shot still wasn't clear for at least another 5 feet. It took another 30 seconds for the deer to forage and get into my shooting lane. By that time, my bow arm was dead and couldn't hold wellenough for a steady shot anymore. Suffice to say I let down and the deer looks dead at me then takes off. Had I had a higher let-off, I might've been alright.
Anyway... I got rid of the bottom brass nock and replaced it with an eliminator button. There's a whole lot less pinch on the arrow now. I can push the arrow up away from the launcher at full draw and there is very little pressure holding the arrow down.
