Digital scales?

[macbow]

My digital scale that really worked well started malfunctioning right in the middle of a,bow build last week.
Just started weighing light.

Checked Wally World for a fishing,scale but they only went,to 50 pounds.

What have you all been having luck with?

I've been using the X-Spot scales from 3 Rivers myself. So far I've not had any problems.

 I hope they're not the ones that malfunctioned on you.

No not that brand. The Nocking Point used to carry mine but Mike can't get them anymore.

I was using a  martin digital scale up until last week but after reading it upside down and not registering in my pea brain what was supposed to be 60# was in actuality 90#..could figure out why the bow broke  LOL  I switch to a hand held Easton digital scale that Easton sells to check your bow weight..pricy one but works sweet

I recently bought a non-digital scale and it seems to work well. Not the greatest, It's probably not the most accurate, btu it works.

I think it's this one ...  http://www.3riversarchery.com/product.asp?i=7856&gclid=CJS1gNKg_bcCFUmY4AodmDAAIQ

I have good luck with the X-Spot digital scale.

Thanks for the replies.
Probably go with the x-spot. Have to wait for funds.
Using a non digital luggage scale till then.

Mac, I picked up a luggage scale from wally world. It's similar to the fish scale but goes much higher in measurement. It also works pretty well.

I'll have to check another Wally ours didn't have squat.

I wouldnt trade my x spot for nuttin'. Ive had a few bows go boom on me while on the tree and those scales have went screaming across the shop. No problems at all.

Have had this one for 12 years.

Mac, my wife was looking for a smallish suitcase and I was holding up the cart, ya know. And I just glimpsed the luggage scale hanging nearby. It looked just like the fish scale but was meant for heavier weights.

I have the Easton Digital and have been using it for 4-5 years. Love it. I lost the battery compartment back a year ago. Of course the scale still works. I want to buy another (back-up) but I see they are no longer sold.  

I don't see any handhelds like this one on the market?

There are lots of options on the World Wide Web too.  I personally prefer to work with our sponsors though!

I have the one from Cabelas which I like. I also have the one Old Roy posted...that thing is way off!  Go figure     :D

[Roy from Pa]

Now beachyboy, what's ya mean Old Roy? LOL

I hung a 50# weight on that old scale last fall and it was 1# over... Not bad...

I ordered the X spot yesterday, now I'm high tech...

I have the spring scale very similar to the one Roy posted..its only 5 or 6 years old. I should upgrade I guess..

[beachbowhunter]

Royboy, the problem I have with it is that it doesn't start getting accurate until you are over 20 or 25 lbs. It zeros out at 5 lbs and is kind of a swag until the weights get heavier.

the thing I like about the digital is that when I am scaling a bow by myself, the reading stops and displays at the max point that I draw. With the spring one I need to look and remember!

[Roy from Pa]

No wonder you don't like it, most of your bows don't reach 20 - 25 pounds..

I'm using a cheap Chinese luggage scale.  Probably not super accurate, but good enough for my needs.
