MY well system is delivering poor pressure to fixtures.pressure switch is set at 40-60.air in tank is at 38.water cycles correct turns on at 40 off at 60.but when I turn a fixture on there is just a small stream of water coming out. I also have a water softener attached to the system.

Bypass the water softener and see what happens. WHole house filter? Change it. Clean all aerators.

Is there a bypass on the water softener? If so, put it on bypass and let us know if the pressure is better. Also, is there a water filter in the system?

Great minds think together but maybe in a different timezone!

Try it. If that fails, Im afraid you may need to get the softener serviced.
