I have an old Gordon Plastics recurve bow from California. This is a wood recurve bow that is backed by fiberglass and pretty a typicle of early to late 60's vintage recurve bows. The bow is 62 inches from tip to tip. The only markings on the bow is a 54 which I assume is the poundage. My issue is with the brace height. I purchased a 62 AMO string for it that is 58 inches long. I am only getting a brace height with this string of 5.25 inches which does not seem correct. I have placed several twists in th string and now I have a 6.25 brace height.
Does any one know what the correct brace height for this recurve bow should be. I have other recurves and they are all from 7.25 tp 8.5 inches in brace height. Should I go with a shorter string?
thanks
