Measuring draw weight

[Handcannon]

My old bow was set at 65#from the shop & when I measured it w/ my scale at home it was reading the same as the shops scale.
Now I have a "new-used" bow that is a single cam & says 60# is the max. I put it on my scale & get 80# peak. Is there a different method for measuring draw weight for single cam bows?

Maybe the sticker is wrong

Should be the same on measurement, just before you hit the "break over" point is where you measure.

Seems kind of weird if the sticker says 60# and the limbs are 80#'s.

Can you pull it back?

I can pull it back & it does pull harder than my other bow did. Once it's rolled over the holding pressure is 20#

Whats the let-off on that bow? Sounds like somebody switched out the limbs at one time?

Sticker says 80%, it's a Browning Ambush 80.
