We got a competitiove bunch this year John. I thought they were gonna hang me with all the technicalities.
Anyway , item of discussion

Length vs weight...

A guy would have to be blind to miss a length by 1 inch but he could miss a pound or two easy do to scale calibration error. I bet if you grabbed 10 Berkeleys off the shelf and tested them with a known weight , you'd get a pound or two range on the measurements
Also , everyone has a tape measure to measure for a keeper but not many people have scales and would have to buy them. I have a 50 pound spring scale already. Its not a berkely though so that means it wouldn't count??? I use the thing twice a year. I'd get stuck with two. i could use each one once a year!
Anyway , thats my heavy sell for length not weight.
