Hand held scales - different almost every pull

[laltaffer]

Currently I have the LCA HS3 - but it’s the same as the ones I’ve had before. The reading for max pulled weight changes, always going down with every subsequent pull. If I let it sit a while, say a day. It seems to go back up.

Anyone know what the deal is? Just been curious a long time.

Yes they are all shit. I find the scale that goes on the draw board to be much more accurate.

I have a HS2 and it’s consistent. However, if you don’t pull the exact same, you can get different numbers. I think Dudley just talked about it. Any different twist or angle gives different numbers.

Agreed. My HS3 seems consistent enough so long as I pull almost the same each time.

I have an old spring type, it's consistent for peak wt so that's good enough for me.

I've used an Easton one at the shop several times and it's always been pretty consistent for all draws.

I have the HS3 and it's been very consistent.
