Steve Gorr only recomends B50 on his short recurves. 56 inch and higher, FF is OK. Mine is quite at 8 5/8 brace, B50 and Bow Hush

Can you folks tell my why no FF on these tips. The only thing I can think of has to do with the string angle being more acute on shorter limbs, thus the downward force from the string loop on the tips is greater than a longer bow. This bow however is only #52, and I cant imagine the loop damaging two backings of micarta.

Any ideas or info is appreciated.

What type of string do you have? Flemish or endless? My 60 recuve kicked like a mule and sounded like a 10gauge with the endless loop. switched over to a flemish and it tamed it down a lot.

Might want to try one of our Bikin strings with our new DOUBLE KATS silencers. They are really super quiet and we offer a money-back guarantee!

Bow is officially DEAD Quiet. And I might still check out one of your strings buckster!!!

Ended up being a 8.1'' Brace Height and wool wrapped ends. Thanks for the advice. As the brace height increased I also went from an MFX 400 with 200 up front, to a MFX 500 with 145 up front. Bare-shafts like a dart.
