I bought this scale to accurately measure the draw weight and let-off weight of my bows. Although the scale does not have a peak measurement feature that I was hoping it would have, it worked very well for my needs, and was priced much lower than comparable bow scales. I hang the scale from a secure object, attach the string loop to the hook, and pull the bow down, keeping the scale at eye level. It would also be a great addition to a draw board. It appears to be strong and well made.
