Thanks for the response guys. The draw weight was checked on three different scales, so that is out of the question; however, upon checking the cam I noticed that the string is mounted on the third position (not optimal). JeffB - Yes, the bow was bought as a 30" draw and reduced to 29.5" . I guess I can live with it the way it is - I am deadly with it. I just thought there might be something wrong due to the premature serving separation next to the cam (brand new string-zebra). I haven' t more than 100 shots on the new string and the serving is already starting to show wear[:' (].
