    Bow not drawing maxed out weight

    my 2017 maxed out 70# 28inch elite impulse that I had new strings put on in the summer before elk season, is only drawing 63 to 64#s
    I did not notice anything until mid-season when shooting with a buddy at 60 yards and my arrow's arch looked extreme compared to his (70# halon)
    I noticed my limbs weren't maxed out so I maxed them out with equal turns. Next time I shot we got out his chrono.
    My arrow is light top of my head it was 411 grains (axis 400 @ 27inches with 100 grain broadhead) and I was shooting 290ish
    I then used a draw weight scale and my bow is only pulling 63-64

    I did not shoot a ton between the new strings and maxing out. Is it usual to lose 5+ pounds on draw weight after a month or two of light shooting?
    bow seems slow for everything too

    Possible depending on the strings. I’d go add some twists

      Cables probably creeped on you, a couple of twist should put it back in spec and get the weight back up. Just check the ATA and you should know. ATA is probably a little long and the brace is probably a little short.
