Title: 65 percent let off
Post by: krout81 on October 17, 2016, 12:52:02 PM: If it's already on here sorry. When did the let off restriction get removed from archery regs. Maybe I am crazy, but last I recalled it was max 65 percent.

Then a couple of years ago Pope and Young changed their mind on lighted nocks and Washington followed them on that also.
