Interesting question. I don't actually know the let-off on my compound. I believe it's specced at somewhere around 65%, but that doesn't tell me what it actually is - for that I'd need to measure the peak weight and the valley weight accurately and figure it out. I've never done that.

I don't see an advantage in high let-off setups, unless you're handling an extreme amount of weight, which we never do in FITA/GNAS archery (limited to 60lb max). You need some weight to pull against. As to lower amounts of let-off; I can't see 50% as a "tiring" figure (max 30lb holding weight - peanuts). But I'm also not sure I see much advantage in it - cleaner loose for finger shooters?

I did hear tell of an Italian guy who shot a no let-off setup, with a clicker....
