RE: Bow scale questions
 

with readable increments starting low enough to be used for a bow.
What type of increments are we talking about? I have found that even my 2 lb increments to be less than desirable when I wanted to be "super precise".

When you get into the 300# scale, the marked increments are 5# (?), and won't be very readable with any amount of decent accuracy. I have the 300# Hanson for string stretching (and weighing deer). I wouldn't want to use it for measuring bow draw weights.

The 100# version has 1# increment markings.

Looks to be about 3#, but my eyes are what they used to be-

OK, I think my 300# Hanson has the 5# increments.....

I still tend to think that it's nice to be able to easily see 1/4# (or less) changes in poundage using the 100# version with 1# increments. But hey, if this Cabela's scale will work for you, then buy it! Is that kg scale on one side? Or is there a "dual mode" that I don't know about?

The left side scale and right side scale don't match up at all for incrementing poundage...

Not sure. Product verbage said something about estimating meat yield, perhaps the right side is something like that.

Buy something? I've got a freebee coming my way :)

Of course, I could always buy the 100# Hanson and weigh my big bucks 3-4 times to get the total weight, right?

Yeah. Sure. Let us know how that works out.
