I use the one I have for re-loading. Midway has them for $72 that weigh up to 505 grains.

I like my RCBS Partner Electronic Powder Scale,,,

Got mine from Cabalas Bargin Cave for (if I remember right) less than 50 bucks... That was a good score that day.....

Your local head shop will carry them too, 15 to $20. they switch from many formats.
You can also use the scale you have, and convert it on Google. just enter the weight and ask Google to convert it like so:
type "25 grams to grains" in to the search bar, and it will convert it instantly for you.

Next to my suggestion I like pydpipers best.

My suggestion? Go to this sight [ http://www.metric-conversions.org/cgi-b ... om=3&to=17 ], set the the range [ the default ] works fine for arrows ], choose "Printable Format, print, laminate, hang chart in shop and you're good to go.

Take care...

Ebay.......You can find one pretty darn cheap. When using you're new digital scale, the arrows will naturally want to roll off. Stick a piece of doubled over masking tape on it then push the "tare" button to zero the scale and you can weigh your arrows and components without them rolling off the scale.

I belong to an archery club here in CT. I'd guess that most, if not all, of our Trad and Primative shooters (a minority in the club) make/assemble their own arrows and have a scale. The opposite is likely true of the majority of club members who are strictly compound shooters. What percentage of CB shooters would you guess put together their own arrows?

Take care...

I use the same 550 RCBS scale that I use for reloading my metallic cartridges. Just dented out the side opposite of the spout to cradle the arrow.
Sure I roll my own, for both my firearms and 3 crossbows; 2/3 the fun of making a clean kill.
