On the topic of the bow letoffs I don't think it is really that big of deal. Even if you have a bow with 75% letoff or more you still have to make the shot, get yourself in a position for the shot, get drawn on the animal, and everything thing else that leads up to taking an animal with a bow. I don't see why it matters if you can hold at full for a couple more seconds, it is not like you are in your stand with your bow at full draw all of the time. That is just how I feel about the subject. And I take my hat off to Mr. Beatty for taking such a fine animal.
