RE: all of a sudden shooting bad
Arthur P is right.
My initial though was that your over spined. But you haven' t changed your arrows.
Then I came to Arthur P' s post which said:
That makes alot of sence and I believe that is just what is going on. The same thing is happening to me also.
Because when you are over spined, your arrow is gonna shoot to the left no matter what you adjust, just like what you mentioned is happening to you.
The 5 lb loss in draw weight would cause your arrows to be over spined.
Try cranking your bow up 5 pounds. I guarentee you will be shooting like you were before. But crank it back down and (if you do not know what you are doing) take it to the proshop and have then twist the cable for you and put it back on. Or do it yourself.

New string and cable + Suddenly shooting bad = String/cable creep.
If you would check your brace height, axle to axle length and cam timing, you' ll likely find each one is out of spec. Your draw weight is likely at least 5 pounds less than you set it for. You need to get the string and cable twisted up and put back in spec. Everything will line right out again.
