Arrow weights

Otoe Bow:
Hey guys, I have a quick question.  What do you use to weigh your arrows, a postal scale?  I've just started making my own, with trade points, (hopefully some stone points soon) and I have no idea how much they weigh.  ???

Pat B:
I have an old triple beam scale but a scale for weighing out powder etc for reloading will give you the weight in grains.   If you can't find a grain scale but have one that measures grams and ounces, there 437.5 grains to the ounce and 28 grams in an ounce. Pat

John K:
I have one of the hand held scales, that measure in grains. Works fine for me, it gets close enough.

Otoe Bow:
Geeez, math makes my eyes bleed.  Does that all mean that one gram = 15.625 grains.   :-\
