Very simple & quick to use, and seem to be very accurate. I've had one for a few years now and it's stil running strong.

I use mine all the time. Had it for 4 years now. For the money, it was an excellent buy.

5deer-had my grain scale for the last year and it has worked great for me so far! Seems to be very accurate and I check this by measuring known weights such as a 145g field tip etc. Works great!

Works great!! I added a couple pieces of fletch tape then a couple pieces of serving onto them at about a 3/16th" gap lengthwise down the middle keeps the shafts and feild tips from rolling.

It works great. When I weigh my arrows I just take a bottle cap and cut a half cicle out of each side and lay it on my scale and no more arrows rolling around on scale. Dont forget to weigh the cap and than tare it and your ready to go

I have it plus another that I had bought earlier and both work great and they both see usage. Thought I had lost the first one that I had purchased else where before any of the archery suppliers had them. I had went to a knappin and took it along as I was going to makes some hunting and hide it in my Suburban.

Apparently I do not proof read very well. The last sentence is supposed to read " I had gone to a knappin and took it along as I was going to make some hunting heads and hide it in my Suburban." I found it a couple of months later while cleaning the Suburban up. I did not really lose it I just temporarily misplaced it. More senior moments.

I've used the digital and the balance beam scales and both have their places. I like the digital to take along on hunting trips where I'm a few hundred miles from home. But, for home use, I prefer the balance beam that 3 Rivers Archery sells.
Nothing rolls around with the balance beam and it doesn't require a battery to work.
