I'm about to pull the trigger on a nice grain scale carried by a member over on AT (from recommendations on here and there). The only thing holding me back is the accuracy is good to +/- .3 grains. Is this a sufficient tolerance, or should I be leaning for more accuracy? I notice the coffey scale on Lancaster is +/- 1.5 so, I would assume .3 would be MORE than enough. Thoughts?

I would think so Matt, I mean .15 is damn good!!

Thats about the weight of an eye lash

Dont think your gonna get one any closer

Interesting fact...that's a random thing to know...actually I misposted that number. The most accurate scale he has is +/- .15 but is out of stock. The next best is +/- .3 so I still think .3 is good...that's ~ two eyelashes

Even if it is +/- 1 grain it would be good enough. I like to be as exact as the next guy but, if you had 2 arrows and they were made exactly the same and one was 3 grains heavier than the other, they will not fly any differently.

For bullet reloading +/-.5gr is good. For archery, all a person would need is +/-1gr or even more.

Just curious because I am looking for one too. Are you talking about that Menaztricks guy that has them for sale?

I just picked one up on AT for 22 bucks. It seems to work great. and at that price you cant beat it.

I bought the Magnum model from him for $30. last year and I compared it with my brothers Lyman powder scales not enough difference to blink at. LOL

Mine is +/- 1 grain and works fine.
