Well I went to my archery shop, & had him weigh it. It pulled 67.8 # on a digital scale. the shop put a couple of twists in & got it up to 69.9#. So I'd say that the scale we used @ the GTG may have been off. Acutally I like the 70# setting. The arrows are flying much flatter at 40-50 yds. BCrik, I'm getting ready 4 U next yr!
