My birth certificate said 71 Lbs, but my scale said 65 Lb my scale has been alway right in the past. One reason I think my scale right is that the arrows I'm shooting are on the light side for 65 Lbs,but in range at 71 Lbs be to light. I'm shooting great shooting 2 inch groups at 40 yard with broadheads. One pin good for 10 to 30 yards 3 inch high at 10 and 3 inchs low at 30 yards. It's very fast, shooting a clean hole in paper and quit. The arrow are flying to good to be at 71 Lbs
