Default bow scales

What are some fairly decent brands and for what price? This would just be for home use.

I have the hanging scale but what is nice about the digital ones are, certain ones will show you peak weight, roll over through the valley and holding weight by memorizing them.

I just got a Pelouse Digital scale after having a hanging scale.
The digital is a little pricy @ $100.00. You can get a spring hanging VIKING for about $45.00. Does the job fine.
The digital may be over kill.

Thanks guys. I was just at TSC buying dog food and picked up a Viking scale for 36 bucks. It goes to 110 lbs. by 1 lb. increments, it should do the trick.
