Cheap digital bow scales

#1 Post by rodlonq » Mon Nov 10, 2014 9:45 am

For the price, these might be worth a look?

They don't look much different than the OMP scale I paid nearly $60 for!

Cheers... Rod

I use something very similar to that on my courses. They work pretty well, especially for the cost.

One died though, when a bottle of acetone spilled on it and it essentially turned into a gloopy mess. My fault though.
