Bow weight as marked....is it right?

[Pat B.]

I've recently weighed two different Hill bows of recent manufacture on my digital scales. The marked weight on the bow was dead on with my scales..

I have had several bows that were heavier than marked--not just on my scale but others I double checked on.  One bow was 6# heavy!  I think bowyers like the +/- leeway on ordered weight but never heard it in reference to actual weight compared to marked weight.
