Best scale for arrows and points?

What do you recommend for weighing arrows and points? Something easy to use, quick, accurate and affordable. Thanks for your recommendations in advance.  :help:

I don't believe you will beat this scale for this price.

If the link doesn't direct you straight to it, go to the index and go arrow building supplies then arrow tools then grain scales and the one I am talking about is the digital pocket scales.

I've got one of these and I really like it.

A couple of drawbacks are you need a level surface or things that can roll off, will roll off.

The other is the low profile.  You gotta make sure nothings touching the counter.  I set mine on a block of wood to raise it up.

I just got an electronic hanging scale from Kustom King and it is working well.  I've got a nail on a shelf I hang it from.  And it's only about $10!

Ihave an electronic scale from Archery Past, for $25. Reads in grains, grams and ounces and is self-calibrating each time you turn it on. Put a drop of heat-glue on each corner of the plate to keep stuff from rolling off, and the scale automatically compensates. Wish I'd had one years ago. For instance, I had no idea how dramatically routine sharpening reduces broadhead weight. Dave
