Digital scale recomendations
 

I am looking to start building my arrows and am looking for a digital scale.
Does anyone have any recomendations?

Coffey marketing makes one for about $30-$35 I think it is sold by both Cabelas and bass pro. I have one and it is great.

I use Durascale
they are very accurate for Digital scales plus they dont take up a lot of room in the archery box

The only bad thing about the Coffey scale that I saw was that it is only accurate to +/- 1.5 grains. Lancaster has one that sells for 50 that goes to 771 grains and is accurate to .15 grains.

Go with a Coffey. Couple different models and inexpensive.

cabelas makes a nice one with a calibration set that can double as a reloading scale. I think it is made by US scale.

+/- 1.5 grains is pretty accurate....i dont think you bow will notice the difference...am i wrong???

RE: Digital scale recomendations
 

Thanks to allfor the input.
I ordered the Coffey off of Ye Olde Archery for $28.00 tonight.

Yes 1.5 is pretty accurate , but I like something that goes a lot more than that so for $10 more I would get the one that is a lot more accurate. That is +/- 1.5 grains so you could end up with a difference of 3 grains . Not nearly accurate enough in my opinion where you can spend and extra ten and get one that will be a WHOLE lot better.

a scale accurate to 3 grains is a piece of junk:(:(:(:(really!!!!!!!!!!!!
Your bow would get concerned over a 3 grain difference???....get serious man;)
poor shooting form, a crooked arrow,or wind will effect an arrow 100 times more than 3 grains ever could
why waste 10$???? buy your kid/grandkid/little johny across the streeta new toy with that money...or give the wife a rose... or something nice like that.

I will still spend the extra ten dollars on the best equipment out there . To each their own, I like things exact not close.

RE: Digital scale recomendations
 

yea...i understand[8D]...but sometimes its better not to concern yourself with so many things when trying to shoot....its best to have a clear head, get back to the basics,and focus 110% on the task at hand...

perfect the obvious things first....then worry about 3 grains....
unless youve perfected the major factors in shooting accurate...3 grains means nothing.

RE: Digital scale recomendations
 

If you are buying a scale then I'm thinking you want to know EXACTLY what something weighs. I don't see the point in buying a scale that has a 3 grain variance.

RE: Digital scale recomendations
 

i dont own a scale...it doesnt concern me at all....i have enuff to worry about while hunting/shooting than my arrows not being the exact same weight...
i know the point of a accurate scale....but +/- 1.5 grains isnt going to make a noticable difference in your arrow flight! so why concern yourself with it???....i think sometimes guys tend to overthink something thats as primative as shooting a bow or hunting.... whether your bow is the newest tech advancement or not...archery is still a very primal beast.

That is fine for you Alpha , but there are those of us out there that dont mind spending the time to make sure everything is to our liking. I say if you are going to buy something buy the best that you can afford not how cheap you can get by for the sake of a few dollars. That is the reason I bought the "Little Jon" bowstring jig even though I already owned a Yellowstone jig. The Little Jon was head and shoulders above it but wasnt available when I bought the Yellowstone a few years back.
