Hello there. I am confident we can replace this old crossbow balance, but I'd like to confirm one detail before proceeding. Can you confirm the diameter of the spring rod? That will help narrow down the best option. Thanks.

Thanks for your patience while we researched this! We've confirmed that we can supply a replacement for this balance, but only as a custom order. There are a couple of things we have to go over first, though.

To start, an exact match for your old balance is strictly no longer available. it's a very old size and they don't make them anymore, so we have to use a more modern channel style balance.

I'll need a couple more details from you before we can move forward. Please provide the following:

  • Total length of the balance, measured from the bottom of the T shoe to the top of the white cap. Please make sure to measure an undamaged balance when determining length. It's not possible to determine precise size from a broken assembly.
  • Exact weight of the sash, down to the ounce
  • How many balances you wanted to replace

If you have need balances of different sizes, I need the above information for each size.

Once I have that data, we can email you a purchase link and price quote that will let you place an order on our site.
