David Love asked: "Does anyone out there actually measure the resistance on the balancier and repin for a specific target?" David, Yes, I do. I shoot for 4-6 grams of resistance. This is measured by a gram gauge, at the tip of the balancier lever. It's a bit tricky to get the spring out of the way to measure this. I've made a jig to do this. It is very consistant and in my mind, accurate as it needs to be. Best Regards, Joe Garrett, RPT, (Oregon) Captain, Tool Police Squares Are I
