Imo there is too much let off and it'll affect accuracy.

Also I guarantee that bow is harder to let down then a 60-75% let off bow.

I tested the Elite Hunter last year, and it has about the same draw cycle. It's uncomfortable to let down, and at full draw, it feels like you have to push forward to get it to fire.

Wow, pretty interesting. I think that any amount of target panic is really going to be magnified with a bow like this. You would have to really train yourself to follow through for a longer period of time than any other bow set up.

That would be my luck, shoot at a monster buck or bull, pull the trigger and the arrow stay at full draw because it won't go forward and shoot without a push start. Ha ha

Now that's some funny stuff right there, grinning ear to ear when I read it. Could be a new pitch for the bow, "So much let off, that it may just let you down!"

There is a trick to this video, you remove the cam mods and over draw it. Its not a good thing. Concept bows advertises a 99% let off as well.
They aren't r moved. It's by moving the draw peg all the way back on a 60-50lb bow and the let off is less then the bow weight.

I agree, I think it would be uncomfortable to shoot. Maybe shooting a really light poundage bow for turkey hunting it wouldn't be as noticeable or uncomfortable but for a big game bow I'll stick with 65-80%.

I'm going to stop by one of the sports shop out of town here one of these weekends and shoot a few bows and see what they are like. I will see what i think of the elite 35 see if i need to give it a little push start on the release.:D

A number years ago my brother had a PSE predator bow. The allen screw that was used on the cam stop had loosened and moved a substantial amount which let the cams travel further than they should have. This somehow affected the let off much like the let off is on this bow in the video. My brother almost had to help the arrow get started. I bet this elite bow is set up to either let the cams travel further or the person on the video set up the bow wrong.
