Can anyone shed some light on this please?
Is there any reason why you couldn't use a luggage scale as a bow scale?
e.g.
Samsonite | Scales Digital Scales | Luggage Gear
Korjo - Digital Luggage Scale (DLS82)
http://online.luggagegear.com.au/luggagegear/3648-digital-luggage-scale.html
Most will handle up to or over 40-70kg, have the right hook or strap mount, are digital and often with memory and most cost between $25-40.
Bow scales do not look much different but are advertised at 4-10 times more.
That is pricey for something you only use occasionally and doesn't need to be accurate up to a few decimal places. For all I know, these digital luggage scales could be more accurate anyway.
Are bow scales really so different or are they generally over-priced and it's just another case of what you know?
