I just had the draw weight checked on my BRAND NEW (3 months old) Mathews fx - it was set at 61 lbs. I bottomed it out to achieve the highest draw weight possible (supposed to be 70 lbs), and it only goes up to 64! Now the bow is a 60/70, so should I reurn it? I am not unhappy with the bow - I love it. But what if I wanted to shoot at 70 lbs? I paid ALOT of money for this setup[]! I wanted to set it at 65 lbs. I paid for a 70 lb bow, am I overreacting?? Should I just " live" with it, or demand what I paid for?

Check Captnkirk' s post from a couple of days ago on his Q2 . Probably just string stretch.......no big deal . There is a good chart on that post to check your cam timing .
I thought that the Zebra string wasn' t supposed to stretch that much - if at all (at least that' s what I was told).

Yeah, They' ll stretch some at first (100-200 shots) and then settle in !! I' ll bet your peep has been rotating some !! The new Zebra' s that just came out are much better. The one on my LX hasn' t stretched at all yet 500+ shots !!
That' s why I love this site! You are absolutely correct, I have an inline peep that USED to fall dead on every time. Now it is twisted in my line of sight. Should I get a new string, or simply have it twisted?

Wow,what a valentines present.I just got a card.If she really loved you she would have gotten you a Hoyt.
I believe it is a timing issue and would have your local shop look at it.I would bet that the cable needs to be twisted up.And yes,even a 1 cam will have timing issues.The cam must be rotated properly to perform at it' s optimum.
The Zebra string should be sufficient but is far from being one of the best.IMO.
Mathews FX draw weight.
