After reading all of your post, it seems that most have given up their compound bows because you can not draw them. Has anyone considered putting Draw-Locs on your bow? They have been out for years and now have a brand new version that has a anti-dryfire system, its a pretty advanced system. You can draw your 70 lbs, without a ****ing devise, bow back with your foot and keep it at full draw until ready to shoot. Your bow will be quite, fast, accurate, weigh less than most crossbow, easy and fun to shoot, and will save you lots of $$$$$. Search "draw loc" to see what it is about. It can keep you shooting your bow for years to come.
