Here is the 57 Bear Catalog.  This should have the specs you need

The sweet spot will be more than 7" and less then 8" . it will take some experimenting.

It opens for me ... buy, unfortunately, it does not show the recommended brace height ...   Pretty sure Wadde is right at starting at 7 inches.  Start with a string that gives you an 8" brace height and twist that down until you hit the sweet spot ...

 I shot the bow with 7.1/4 brace. It felt so much better to shoot.
 next time I shoot I'm anding more twist to 7.5. It looks close to 1" twist
on string. thanks for all your help
