I built my tillering tree this weekend and I'd like some advice on some scales to finish it out. I want a scale to be able to pull while tillering to monitor the weight and minimize set. I'm looking at 100 lb +/- scales because I'm likely to make bows over 50 lbs. I've found these and want to know opinions from anyone who has used the same or similar scales:
morningbite.com/Weston-100-Lb-Spring-Scale-14-0306-W-p/mbp-14-0306-w.htm - The cheaper of the two scales and I like the sliding piece to mark max weight
ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=280512601642&ssPageName=STRK:MEWAX:IT - Hanson viking scale at the best price I've found but shipping is high. (Pleas don't buy this before I get a chance)
I've used the viking scale before and know it's robust but I'm cheap I'd like to spend as little as possible.
Please feel free to share if you know of somewhere that sells a scale that will work for less.
Thanks in advance, Jason

I have the Pelouze (sp.?) bow scale. I got it from Three Rivers, I think-works great and wasn't expensive at all if I remember right.
-
That one is pretty much the same as the viking but costs $52.50 plus shipping.

Pelouze for me as well. Also from 3 Rivers. I don't know about the other scales you mentioned, but I would make sure you buy something you can trust, The last thing you want is the scale blowing at full draw. :o

I have used the pelouze viking for lots of years.
-
I use the same one Hillbilly and bigcountry uses,they hold up great and mine get a lot of abuse
because everyone using it and of course at the Classic it seems to get dropped a lot.I just replaced mine old one after 7 or 8 years and got it from Three rivers. :)
