Q: is this scale OK for compound bows Asked on 11/7/2011 by Anonymous Know the answer? Answer this question 2 answers A: I only tried it out on traditional recurves and longbows.It probably would not work any better on compounds. I do not like the results I got and I cannot callibrate this scale. Answered on 3/6/2012 by zimbabwae ed from orange county N.Y.S. A: I do not think that this scale would work as well for a compound. With the let off on the compound the hold weight would not be different than the weight of the bow. With a traditional bow the weight increases the farther you pull it back so where ever the scale is is the true weight of the bow. Answered on 11/7/2011 by Justin from 3Rivers Archery
Q: I notice that each bow scale has a metal hook for the string. Wouldn't this weigh the bow lighter than a real draw which has a three fingered anchor; this creates a line of 2 inches (not a 1/8" hook), give or take? Point being, increased string angle to the same draw length distance requires more bow bend. Am I splitting hairs here or are we just supposed to assume the scale folks thought of this? Asked on 9/15/2011 by Knock Nock from Lancaster, PA Know the answer? Answer this question 1 answer A: Yes, almost any scale would be off slightly, but it would only be a difference of a few ounces, not pounds. The difference is negligible.

Q: how accurate is this scale ? i have a 45# bow at 28 inches and this scale reads about 5 pounds less. i have shot my bow many, many thousands of times. Asked on 1/23/2011 by frank from norfolk, va Know the answer? Answer this question 2 answers A: We have never had any problems with this scale's accuracy. I do not know what kind of bow it is, but it is not uncommon for them to lose a few pounds over time. It is also possible that it did not start out at exactly 45#. Archery manufacturers are given a 2# lee way on bow weights. A 45# bow could be anywhere from 43# to 47#. Answered on 1/24/2011 by Anonymous A: Hi Frank. Bows eventually lose poundage over the years, and I am guessing that that's what happened to your bow. Answered on 5/5/2011 by Andrew from Ohio
Q: i feel stupid asking this but which side of the marker do you read when you let down your draw? there is a narrow end and a wide end. the narrow end reads a heavier number and the wide end reads a lighter weight. Asked on 10/14/2010 by Anonymous Know the answer? Answer this question 2 answers A: I am not sure how old your Hand Held Bow Scale is, but I pulled one off of the shelf and in the middle of the indicator is a thin line that sticks up. That is where you should be taking your measurements. One of our techs recommends putting a dot of white on the line so it is easier to see. Be sure you are pulling to your draw length. In this, your fingers (wrapped around the T-handle) will be further back than your anchor point, as that is where you need to get the string hook too. Answered on 10/18/2010 by Johnathan Karch from 3Rivers Archery A: THE WIDE END.READ IT FROM THE POINT AT THE WIDE END. Answered on 1/5/2011 by GARY from TORONTO CANADA
