I use this one


No holding weight feature, but with slight modification I can read it with my eyes closed.

Every single handheld scale I've messed with has been VERY inconsistent. Especially the digital ones. Just my experience, YMMV.

We use a large scale hanging from the ceiling next to a wall beam. Hang the bow by inside of d-loop (not d-loop itself, but in between the knots on the string), draw downward with both hands. Similar to this one, but larger. Very consistent readings and easy to zero.

Man, i lucked out last night. I found a last chance archery bow scale 2.0 for $14 on amazon prime and sold by amazon. They go for $44-50. Its not a handheld scale though. Im attaching it to the draw board i built.
