Default Bowtech blunder?

At the unofficial GTG, 3 of us we're shooting 3 different Bowtech bows. Guardian, Ally, &Trib. Ea bow was rated as a 70# bow. We used a scale to check our poundage. all were @ 62-63#. All of us cranked them down till they stopped, to see if we could increase our fps readings. We scaled them again, & all 3 were @ 64-65#. I scaled mine last month & had the same reading as this portable scale.
My question is; is it possible that the bows were stickered wrong, & those limbs R actually 60# limbs? I've heard that bows can go over their ratings by a few #'s.
A friend of mine said it could be string stretch. Just seems kinda funny that all 3 bows would have that problem.
What R your thoughts?
