I'm looking for both, so I appreciate the information. Because I shoot one, I've been labeled the "Bowtech Guy" at work, so I want to know all I can about them.
See, I had him add twists to the strings and cables, while keeping it everything in check, and after three full twists , he only gained one full pound.
Now, on our old spring scale my Allegiance would read somewhere betweem 71 and 72#. I'll take it in on Saturday to check it against the digital. The only difference between my bow and the store bows would be the strings; I've got a Winner's Choice on mine.
If my bow reads at or above 70#, we can assume that with the stock Bowtech strings (perhaps for a lack of strands?) we won't acheive max draw weight unless we do a little fine tuning?
1lb per 3 twists is pretty normal, however keep in mind the more twists in the string, the more it will change length per twists if that makes sense. I would assume the 67lb bow will hit 70 with about 8 string twists and I would probably put in 2-3 cable twists depending on where the cams clock. That will get you pretty darn close to your desired poundage.
