Flite Rite Professional I use most of the time.  Also have an Ace that hangs on the wall to double check arrows. dino

Long, long afterward, in an oak I found the arrow, still unbroke;
And the song, from beginning to end, I found again in the heart of a friend.

Still using an old Adams from some years ago.  It does a good job.
Take care of them.  They be expensive nowadays!
Keep them where they can't get dropped, bumped, or or anything dropped on them, and they will last forever.  Olebow

Here is where I got the idea for the one I made- I got the  dial inducator and stand from harbor freight $15 and made the frame from scrap wood instead of metal- works great.

Made one from plans published in Archery Magazine, I believe, in the '50s.  Works fine.

Adam Keiper

Homemade dial indicator type.  You just need some scrap wood, a pair of L-brackets (or more scrap wood), a dial incidator, and a weighting contrivance that weighs 2 pounds. (A big bolt and washers will work.)  You might tie up $30 in parts.  It's not fancy, but it works well.  I almost with I hadn't made one since it makes it too difficult to justify spending a couple hundred dollars on a fancier needle and guage arrangement, LOL!

If you want a cheap one make it your self,If you want a good one that will last forever and looks good check out your sponsor's. (CupCake)  :thumbsup:

First one built from plans by 2Jays, then I bought one from Ace (Spine-Master, model 203). Both work equally well, but the Ace is much smaller.
