Let-off

Let-off refers to the reduction in draw weight at full draw in a compound bow. As the bow is drawn, the draw weight initially increases. Just before full draw, the cams (roller systems) take over the force transfer, causing the holding weight to drop significantly.

Example:

  • Bow with a 60 lbs draw weight
  • 80% let-off

→ At full draw, you only hold about 12 lbs.
