My BH Spec is 6 3/4" and it was just under he said at almost 6 11/16"...

He did twist the cables and got me to 66lbs??

I think this is going to be about the best it can get too!!??
A bow that old, the limbs could have gotten weaker. I have seen a few of my old PSE's and Brownings loose 3-4lbs (in spec or even over) over an 8 year period. Just don't do what I did once and twist them way over ATA specs to get back up to 70lbs. At that point, disaster is waiting to happen. Well, maybe not disaster, but a busted limb.
