    Oldbuck,
    I see 67% let off. Is that deliberate? Set that way?

    This was as recieved from Elite. Also it was on the pull / draw. All bows show max let-off when you come back off the wall slightly, then you get max let-off percentage.
    I'm sure I could improved the letoff, just wanted to see what the curve looked like. This bow also had an almost dead level nock travel.
    All in all a very impressive job by Elite.

    I don't understand.

    You would think if this is how it came from elite it should be allot closer to 80%

    Wow by looking at this and comparing my 07 Synergy as well as other bows I have owned the GTO seems to be one SUPER SMOOTH rollover.....
    Makes me really wanna get my hands on one to try.

    I understand when you pull harder into the stop the letoff geos up , but this curve should have showed 80% at some point.

    Default Why not 80% letoff

    OK guys, I'm sure I could have gotten near or at 80% letoff.
    I did not adjust the stop on the cam, I just wanted to see the curve. I was not interested at that point, about the letoff.
    So don't think the bow does not produce 80%. You can adjust any of these bows to have more or less let-off.
    thanks

    The fact the valley never flattened but immediately went back up indicates the draw stop wasn't set correctly.
