Odd question

Took my bow had my zero effect put on. Checked it out shooting perfect, then shot through the cronograph and was only getting 220fps. Checked the draw weight and its only pulling 50lbs. It a hoyt ultratec with 60lb limbs bottomed out, it has always pulled 60lbs, checked it last time the string was changed. The limbs seem fine and it shoots great but don' t know how I lost 10lbs. Any ideas?

gulf, have you checked the length of your string and cables after break in? I know 10 lbs is alot but there might be a couple lbs there. If your string and cables aren' t twisted up to the right length then you will have less weight than you think.how is the timing mark on your idler wheel? Is the cable between the timing marks?

Yea the timing marks are fine and just had the strings and cables twisted because of stretching. The stretching appears to have stopped once I had that done.
