Letoff...

[dplumlee12]

My current bow is a 2008 PSE XForce Dream Season.  70lbs.  The letoff can be set at 65 or 70%.  I have it set at 70%.
With time comes improvements... Are the newer bows that much better and easier to shoot? 
Should I start thinking about upgrading?

I upgraded this year my bow was old old 1970's vintage and I'm loving the new bows and let offs.  Plus I'm getting older myself lol.

I like to upgrade every 5/6 years.  Year to year I can hardly notice a difference.

Couldn't tell you if the newer ones are "that" much better, but I can tell you I prefer something with 65% or less let off. I seem to shoot better holding a little more of the weight.

I'm probably going to stick with my bow for a couple more years.  I think its more about the "indian" and not the Bow or arrow in my case.

I prefer 65% let off

If you can afford it, it wont hurt to upgrade, and then you will always have your old bow as a back up.

Definitely wont hurt to upgrade.  I shoot a Mathews Z7 extreme at 70# with a 80% let off.

I upgraded in 2012 to the PSE EVO DS at 70#'s and can't believe the difference from my old 2005 PSE Vengeance. That that is seven years, there were a lot of changes if that time. The newer Xforce type bows are probably a little smoother and faster. I will probably shoot this one for at least four years before changing again. with 70# I prefer the higher letoff.

I had a friend that purchased one of the original ALLEN COMPOUND bows many years ago. It did not have much let-off and had cables all over it. Point is, he kept shooting that bow as I continued to upgrade every few years. He was deadly with that bow and never did buy a newer one. I of course continued to get new ones, but he said he could hit what he wanted to, so no reason to change.
