I shot mine at around 7&1/4" to 7&1/2" brace.Do you have silencers on the string? I noticed on some bows with dacron,silencers on the string can increase handshock with a dacron string,just a thought.

nope, no silencers, I'll check the height on mine.

How heavy are your arrows?  You may need to go to a heavier weight shaft to absorb more of the bows energy.

A heavy arrow, correct brace height and the bow hush and hush puppies will make ya a happy man!
