THE LIMBS WERE 70# LIMBS AND I HAVE THEM MAXED OUT AND THE SCALE SAYS 54#.
Chances are that the string and/or cable have stretched, causing the loss in draw weight. It's not likely that your limbs lost that kind of draw weight, unless they are broken. It's likely that the old bow can be brought back into spec. However, it is fun to get a new bow and that reason is as good as another.
