Title: Full Arrow Grain Scale
Post by: links0311 on January 03, 2008, 10:45:00 AM

I am interested in getting a grain scale that will allow me to measure a full arrow with head attached. Any recommendations?

That secret auction site we can't name. 10 bucks, or so.

I'd reccomend the new electronic ones. they are slightly larger than a credit card and are very accurate.

Just got one from Cabela's, US scale, with a 7000 gr. capacity.

Don't think that I will be shooting any one pound arrow's in the near future. Cost about $50.00 (new)

I use the US scale that R.W. uses.  It is compact, accurate, and easy to calibrate.

I have one of the old Saunders grain scales from back in the day and for what I paid for it I could buy one of the new digital scales which as was stated is more accurate. I would get the digital IMO.

Most any reloading scale will work.

Digital is the way to go. I bought my Dillon when they were expensive.  :mad:

Mike Horton @ The Nocking Point carries the US Bowhunting scale.  Pretty handy device.

Sipsey River.  Just got one for $25, works great.  You can cut the bottom of a beer can off and add a couple of v-notches.  Hit the Tare button to zero the can weight and it hold arrows great.
