How do you measure bow weight?

Brothers,

  What is the easiest way to measure the pundage of your bow? Do you brothers use scales, if so where do you get them?

 I use a digital fish scale I got on Ebay, works great and it's not all that expensive. You just have to get one with a range higher than 50 #. Mine will measure up to 120# which puts the midrange right in there.

You can use a bathroom scale and tiller stick to check draw weight. Almost everyone has one of those.     Pat
