The Last Chance Bow Scale 2.0 is an upgraded model that can read and lock on to both peak weight and holding weight from a single draw of your bow. This means you only need to draw your bow once to get both readings. It is the perfect tool for your home or shop.
The Bow Scale 2.0 features an LED digital display, a reinforced welded ring, and a durable and robust steel hook that attaches to your D-Loop with ease. The LED back-lit display is easy to read. The Bow Scale 2.0's max weight is 110 lbs.
To calibrate your Bow Scale 2.0, you will need a 44lb calibration weight. First, remove the batteries from your scale. Then, install one battery back into the scale unit while holding the ON/OFF button. Put the other battery back into the unit while still holding the ON/OFF button. Holding the ON/OFF button while installing the second battery will put the scale into calibration mode. You'll know you're in calibration mode when you see random numbers going up and down on the screen.
Next, you'll need to set the scale on a hook or something that will hold it in the air. Once the scale is in the air, press and release the ON/OFF button once more. "CAL" will come up on the screen, immediately followed by "44lbs", which will start flashing. Now, slowly sit your 44lb weight onto the hook of the scale until "PASS" shows on the screen.
Once "PASS" shows up on the screen, your scale has been recalibrated and is ready to use. If "PASS" does not show up and "44lb" keeps flashing, you will need to restart the process as the scale was not able to read the weight correctly. Ensure that you sit the weight on the hook slowly to allow the scale to read it correctly.
