what does this mean?

A friend just gave me a Ben Pearson BP-H30 7348. The bow looks like new. On the riser it says AR 1592 60" 40 XX - 28". I assume the poundage is 40 @28 and the length is 60 inches, what does the rest indicate?

42 lbs at 28 inches 60 inch amo(needs a 56"string) rest is the serial number

Its a 1970 Sierra Stalker

Yep, the XXs mean it is a couple pounds heavier than stated. If you look under the side plate on the shelf it will have the exact poundage listed.

each x is 2# if after the 40 it is 44 if before 40 it would be 36
