I suspect most manufacturers cover themselves by saying that it's a 'guide' weight and that weight on fingers may vary according to set up. Which is pretty true really, there's a multitude of risers with a multitude of designs, pocket angles etc around.
I've dragged some other risers and limbs out, and there is a difference - all limbs pull stronger on an Exfeel than Hoyts (which are all identical). The worry is (for those of us not lucky enough to be able to use 68's or be able to try out nice limbs very easily), what use is the number on the back? If a 70/36 is 36 an inch and a half from where I'll draw it to, depending on its smoothness it could be 37 1/2 or 41 lbs on my fingers! Incidentally the Synerzys do register 38 at 28, and 44 at 29. Oh, and 46 at my 29 1/2.
