perform your maintenance without removing string

Has your string settled in and is everything the same as last year?

Every gun and bow I have owned in my life is dead nutz and next time it is off. Slightest bump can make them go off a touch.

I don't typically take a string off for waxing or minor maintenance.
When I do take a string off, I make sure the limb bolts have not backed off during shooting and check other hardware to make sure it is tight.

When you take a string off, make sure it does not untwist at all.
1 or 2 twists is enough to change point of impact on the higher poundage bows.

Same thing happened to my buddies Ibex today. I put a new Danny Miller flemish string on last night to stretch and today I reset the brace height and now it's shooting low and right about 2 inches compared to the old string. A few more click of the scope and twist of the string and he will be ready for season.

Well, hope it stays true for you.
Mine do at times change a little at longer yardages.
Especially as we transition into the cooler temps in the fall.

The answer is quite simple. Gremlins.
