RE: question about bow scales at nationals
i too was checked after shooting, and i did check my equipment prior to going onto the range on friday, but wasnt checked on friday, i got checked on saturday. are the same scales taken back to the same tent after each day, or are the left at the tent.
my weights changed a little by the scale reading, but after arrival back at the house, my scales showed my setup had not changed......i checked my scale with 65 lbs of weight, and it shows my setup pulling 65 pounds...my arrows lost weight from friday to saturday, but only by .9 grains. i shot on abcd ranges.
i know this can seem petty, but is there an allowance for scales? esp. after several shooters seem to have the same conclusion that the scale may be off a tad? i have built a little more room into my setup now, just in case it happens again. if the bow scale pulls a couple of pounds heavy and the arrow scale is a little shy, i can see some real problems coming along for some shooters.......
