Default RE: question about bow scales at nationals

I understand that the scale at the check tent is the final say.....But I must say I think the scale at course IJKL was off!
I was checked and it read my bow heavy by almost 2 lbs.....I stood there and saw almost 14 shooters get their bows checked and they all were surprized when they was weighted heavy.
One guy I shot with was legal by only .5 grains. I' m sure this scale was off.

I don' t push the legal limit just because of this reason....My bow is set up at 66 lbs with 350 grain arrow....I got 4 lbs to play with.
I hope everyone that was checked and almost DQ' ed will remember this and check their equipment before they shoot a course.

EJ, BlueJacket,
I don' t think the weather or the way you pull the bow down on the scale would have caused everyone that was checked to show they were heavy.....Let' s use alittle common sence. If everyone was heavy, That tells me the scale might just be off.
I was there at the checkin tent and saw this with my own eyes.
