i have an 05 patriot single cam and its max is 68 pounds . but i am shooting at 307 fps with it so i am happy. when a bow manufacturer says 70 there may be as much as 5 to 7 lbs of differance in draw weight. i had a hoyt raider that was a 70 lb bow but would max at 82 lbs. so i wouldnt worry about it much.
