String and cable creep. You need to twist everything up so it's all back to factory spec and you'll have your draw weight back.
Exactly right and I'm glad to see the correct terminology used regarding string creep.

Stretch is a temporary elongation ie, rubber band.

Creep is a permanant elongation, ie, our stings and cables.

Thanks AP, kudos.

Brad, check your axle to axle and if it is off the factory specs you'll know that your strings and cables creeped, specifically your cables.
