grain scales
« on: September 06, 2014, 10:30:00 AM »
Once again I am seeking the wisdom and advice of those much smarter than myself.  I am looking for a good grain scale to weigh arrows and components.   The idea of electronic does have an appeal.

anybody used the hornady 1500gs?  Other recommendations welcome

thanks in advance

I got mine from Big Jim's. It's very easy to use and inexpensive.

Most trad archery suppliers sell a little black grain scale the runs about $20.  Works just fine.

Any local smoke shop will have cheap AWS grain scales for around 20 bucks. I got one that maxes out at 100grams, which is about perfect for arrows and such.

The electronic ones from nockingpoint, BigJims, etc work awesome.  A great $20 investment.  Saved me TONS of headaches.

If you are looking for a non electronic scale you probably have to go to a re-loaders  scale (ammunition) The are expensive but foolproof.

The electronic scale are cheap and do a good job

 www.tuffhead.com   has one as shown below


  US THUNDER SCALE
$18.50
The US-Thunder digital scale is a professional digital scale. Weighing in grains (gr), ounces (oz), pennyweight (dwt) and grams(g). Capacity: 500g x 0.1g (7716.18 grains). The US-Thunder comes with a 5 year no questions asked warranty. This scale also has a backlit display, 3" x 3" stainless steel platform, auto off feature and slide out display and control panel. Included are 2 AAA batteries. The US-Thunder is an excellent choice when quality and price matters.
