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!

MECHDOCand there we have it, yours was showing me at 63.5 lbs so that would boost me to around 67.5 lbs fully cranked down. Thanks for the update 
Looks like i may put a few twist back in mine to comp for the string stretch. Thanks Kevin!!

I checked the scale with a digital fish scale and came up with a 4 pound difference.
