I'm at 6-3/4 to 6-7/8 from the throat of the grip on all my Liberty English bows. I shoot 5-1/2 inch feathers that come just short of touching the riser when the arrow is nocked. Nock point is at 7/16. I have 2 68" and 1 66".
I would start at 6-1/2 and bring it up an 1/8" at a time till you get good flight and the bow feels good upon release. These bows range 55-60 lbs at 27" yew or bamboo core. I shoot 2016 28" bop. I can vary point weight from 125 to 250 with adjustments only for trajectory. They like woodies 55-65 with Zwickey Eskimos or Magnus. Arrows in the 580 range are a good compromise for weight and trajectory IMO.
Hope this helps

You guys are muckin' up the lead times on getting these bows. I'd tell you to leave my bowyer alone but that wouldn't be right.
bmlongshot what takedown system did you get sleeve or connection hinge? Is it solid no vibration in the handle??

Allen brought down an English and a Chief in the connection take down, Sweet, no noise or unusual vibrations and they were slinging my too heavy spined shafts on the dime.
He will not take orders for a couple months, I, think, as he moves.
