Hello all. I just bought a used/new to me 2022 PSE Levitate 70lbs stock strings. I'm on the initial tuning stage of getting the axle to axle, timing and draw weight to spec. My question is concerning axle to axle. For me to get the axle to axle to 32-1/4 while getting the cables aligned with the dots on the cams my draw weight will get to around 75lbs. For my draw weight to be close to 70lbs while aligning my cam timing marks to the cables then my axle to axle stretches to about 32.5". My draw length is 29.5 and the bow matches this measurement on my drawboard.

I am highly coachable so please educate me on what I am missing. Is there a +/- 1/4" of give where my bow tuning to 32.5 is acceptable . I have not started the paper tuning yet. My rest is on set to 13/16" and my knock is level to the rest height.

I'm going to use a Hamskea Epsilon, Black Gold Dual Trak., and a Quivalizer.... and yes. I already ordered a set of Catfish strings. I appreciate any insight anything else recommended for this bow.

The ATA is just a reference number, it being off one way or another can be used to troubleshoot other problems, like a bow not making peak weight. If you can get 70lbs and the ATA is 1/4” long, I would not not change a thing. If it were the opposite situation where the ATA was a 1/4” long and you were 5lbs short on peak weight; then I would twist em up.

The same is true for brace height; it’s a reference number used to troubleshoot draw length issues and secondarily to compare bow speeds in an apples to apples manner.

The only specifications that matter in my opinion are draw length and draw weight. If those two values are on spec I don’t care at all what the exact ATA or brace height are.

Thank you for this info. I should be good then.
