My one piece seems to like it around 6" 1/2. But I'm not sure about 3 pc. I still regret not putting down an order before he quit.

You can definitely call Ken if someone here will provide his number.  I'm sure someone has it.  He may have closed shop but I'm sure he'd be happy to tell you about the bow, he's a super guy and his work will be missed by those of us who didn't get a chance to order from him.  Hold onto that bow!  Few custom bows shoot as good or better, few custom bows are as carefully and beautifully built.

Terry,
I have two Whippenstick 1-pc., 64" longbows.  Ken told me the brace height range for them is 6 3/4" - 7 1/4".  I have found that a 7" brace works well for both of my bows.
When Ken was at Denton Hill a few years ago, I shot his initial model to the Marauder.  Quite sure the brace height on that 3-pc. was similar to the 1-pic.  Wish you the best with your Whippenstick.  They're a great bow.
The work praises the man.

The Marauder is a different design than his 1pc. It's more like a slimmer Phoenix with LB limbs. I believe his website recommends 7 1/4 - 7 3/4 for the Marauder as a BH range. I shot mine at 7 3/8

Terry, I have contact info for Ken if you need it

Anyone in here still.own a Marauder they'd consider parting with? Looking for a RH 47# or heavier.
