I was going nuts trying to figure this out earlier in the year as well.  They actually threw out the entire letoff regulation so my understanding is there is no specific requirement.  If I'm wrong someone please correct me on this.

The regulations does not specify any letoff anymore so use what you have.

That's what I thought, I didn't think the regs specified anymore.

Would they really check the let off of your bow?  Never been checked in the field with my bow, but it wouldn't surprise me.

I know of guys who have had their let-off checked and their arrow weight checked over in Idaho.  I haven't been checked myself, but know a guy that has been.
