What Brace Height and String Length For 64" Schafer Silvertip T/D Recurve

I have a 64", 3-PC T/D Schafer Silvertip recurve. The string that came with the bow is 58" long. When I strung the bow at The Archery Shop right out of the shipping package the BH was 8-1/4", measured from the string to the deepest part of the throat of the grip. The string seems a bit short to me for a 64" recurve and the BH just a bit high. Anybody have a 64" Silvertip and can you share with me the BH you use and the length of string?
Thanks!

Steve,
Thanks, that's what I thought it should be, too. Now if someone can just tell me what the BH should be.

Ed,
What length is your Silvertip? And what length string are you using with it?
Thanks!

Bill,
If I remember correctly, Tip strings are 1" shorter than normal, ie, normally for a recurve at 64"AMO, the actual string length would be 60",4" shorter than AMO so for a Tip the string would be 59",5" shorter than AMO. Beth will answer your question for sure. On the 58-62" Tips I have owned,7 1/2"-7 3/4" was the recommended brace, had mine at 7 3/4".

I think they recommend 4 inches shorter on the FF models and 5 inches shorter on the dacron bows.
