Concept 99

[Douglas Blair]

Has anyone heard of this new bow? It is said to have a 99% let off at full draw. It was in the August issue of Outdoor Life.

Yes, I have heard and seen. Anything in particular that you wanted to know about it?? Some of the older Oneidas can be set up to have 100% letoff. I have seen these where you draw the bow, and let go of the string, and it simply hangs there at full draw.

Yes, how good do they shoot, and if you can turn the string loose and it just stays at full draw then how do you shoot the bow?

Here is a report from a Concept staff shooter friend of mine.

It's a simple, solid, no frills piece of equipment with the industry leading barnsdale laminated limbs, winners choice strings and cables stock, and the riser and limb pockets are one solid piece of aluminum milled from a solid block of T6061 aluminum...which means less parts, less connections, and less chance of failure.

It's just a bow you have to shoot to believe...you'd think that holding less than a pound at full draw would make the string co limp...WRONG! You don't even realize the high letoff until you go to let down...or should I say try to let down, you have to kinda push pull to let it down. There is no creep at all and the back wall is solid, I do mean solid, no slop at all and that's what I like most about it...when you can have a consistent draw a bow will be more consistent accuracy wise.

As for the older Oneida Stelath thing, they could be tweaked to the point where they hang at release. Problem with this should be obvious, as you are never sure when it would release
