More than just a bow scale, this tool offers a variety of uses. It measures peak draw weight with a hold lock feature as well as the hold weight of a bow. You can also use it as a fish scale or to weigh other items in the scale’s range. A slip-resistant D-loop rope prevents slipping on the bowstring. Small, light, easy to store and carry. Accurate up to 100 lbs. Batteries and hang strap included.
i got this scale to use on a draw board but the lock on it locks up the scale if you stop to move the bow around and you cant restart it. the instructions that came with it says that you can turn the lock off but you cant. martin puts its name on this scale thats way i shoot a new breed
for it's price it is not a bad scale, but do not buy this for measuring peak draw weight unless using a draw board. Draw weight must be CONSTANT for over 1 second for the hold function. I just had a friend read it while I slowly pulled on the bow.
Looks like quality construction, and accurate enough but it does not truly capture peak weight as advertised. There is a function that will lock a weight, but it only works if the load stays constant for one to two seconds. This function makes sense for recording the holding weight, if you're patient, or to weight fish or luggage, but not peak weight. It could probably be used on a draw board where you can constantly watch the weight but otherwise I don't think it is appropriate to call it a bow scale.
