I have two scales, and I have went around to a few shops and all were different by up to 4lbs.

65lbs is a little light. But if the tech puta few twists in each cable, it would bring it back up to wieght. Shocked an archery tech wouldn't know this.
It already had twists put in the string when it was set up to get the cables to fall in track... He said that shouldnt have nothing to do with it. IDK
Bow tuning 101, lengthen your cable, lose poundage, shorten the cable, gain poundage. From the sounds of this guy, take it to a pro-shop. He can add more twists to gain poundage.

I'm not sure I understand this one...How would putting twists in the cables help the cables fall into the track?

After a harness settles in often times the cables will need to be adjusted to get the peak weight back up to spec.

That speed would be about right if he's got a 28" DL and smooth mod's.

If the BH and A-t-A are correct, and you're still only getting 65#, then something ain't quite right. Strings, limbs???? Not sure which, but one of the two is my bet.

On my commander for instance, it only tookfew twists ofeach cable and ATA change was almost nothing and my poundage increased 3lbs.

IDK, do to the Cam lean he had to twist the strings to get them to seat in the cam track grooves.

My first thought is check on another scale.

Second thought, your cables are probably shot in as the bow is over a year old now. Check your string andcables lengths and twist them back into spec.

so what yall are saying is that after a year a bow will lose poundage because the cables/string stretches??? and this can be remedied by twisting the cables and or string??
