Brace height
« on: December 22, 2012, 11:36:00 AM »
The 1959 Bear catalog calls for a height of between 6 1/2 and 7 1/2 in. for a 1959 grizzly.  I got an AMO 62 string and strung bow - brace height at 5 1/2 in. measured from inside the grip below shelf.  My draw length is 32 in.  Bow shoots smooth and arrows fly straight.                                                            Should I shorten string to increase brace to recommended height or stay with what seems to work very nicely?   I am thinking my longer draw is compensating for shorther brace as set up.  Comments welcome.  Thanx

David,

 I would raise the brace height. Shooting too low a brace height could possibly damage the limbs.

Thanks Jack, increased to 7"  works great, still smooth but more power and speed off the shelf.  Happy shooting  C U at KZO?
