Need a bow scale. Any recommendations?
-
I have a hanging scale I like real well. HS4-200 . It has a hold feature so you can hold your highest reading. This is very convenient and a must have as far as I am concerned. Moderately priced under 50.00
-
I don’t have that scale Steve but it sounds like a real good one. I think mine is a Game Tamer or something like that. Arvin

Steve, how long do you have to hold it drawn before it will save the max weight? That's poorly put. With my scale I have to draw it to the position I want and then hold it for 5-10 seconds before it will save the weight.
PS this is mine, got it from Amazon I think. It works well except for the hold function that I mentioned. Not a big deal.
-
thanks for the suggestions

I have a similar or maybe the same scale but mine takes the weight quite quickly. I like the size of it.

I'm probably being over critical but I'm comparing it to an analog scale with the second needle. With them they record the highest weight instantly. The digital ones have a slight delay. Maybe 5-10 seconds was exaggerated.
-
DC, no hold time, it just holds the highest number
-
Does anyone have an analog they like? My eyes aren't young enough to read a digital readout in a shadow laden garage.
-
I would have preferred an analog scale but I couldn't find one in the right range, 0-100lbs, in the right price. Luggage scales are cheap but they usually only go to 40-50 lbs.

I have a Hansen scale that goes to 110# I have it calibrated where I can use it up to 130# if necessary.
-
I like the hand held scales. Pull it. The weight registers and stays. I attach it to the rope of my rope and pulley. Jawge
