Is it normal for a bows draw weight to back off over time? I picked up my bow today for the first time since last season and it is drawing crazy light. I would estimate 50 pounds or less maybe. What would cause this?

String and/or cables have stretched. If you know or can find out the bow's specs measure the axle to axle length and brace height. I'll bet the brace height is low and the ATA is long. When this happens it reduces the preload on the limbs with the result being a change in draw length and reduction in draw weight.

Depending on how far off they are you could have them retwisted to bring up to specs or replace them.

This. Exactly.

Would be better off taken it to a dealer and have them replace string and cables than trying to twist them back into specs..

if they stretched that much they could be about ready to pop...I'd get them changed before drawing that bow back and hurting yourself..

When this happens it reduces the preload on the limbs with the result being a change in draw length and reduction in draw weight.I would estimate 65 pounds or less.
