Ever wonder what # bow you are realy shooting?

Red Beastmaster I am picturing this and rolling on floor. I wish I was there to see it. Ha! Sounds like something I would do with my wife. I am not the sharpest knife in the draw either!

I did see a thread where someone made a board with a base and used the bathroom scale on the floor. That worked out well for him. I can't find the thread. Maybe thats a good thing. They don't let me play with sharp objects either.

Chek-Mate uses a postal type scale that is calibrated to be within 2# @ 200# (or .5# @ 50#), and Marc does measure by AMO standards.  Close enough for me.

I have a non-Easton digital scale, and so far it's been on the  money.

Something I didn't see mentioned--you can change the draw weight of your bow slightly by raising or lowering the brace height.

I've had a few people over the last 10 years or so tell me that their bow wasn't marked correctly.  When I asked, the answer was always the same--a hanging spring type scale.  I always suggested they check on a calibrated bow scale.  Never had to send one back because the weight was off.
