Bighorn brace height

[Longspur77]

Does anyone know what the brace height should be on a Bighorn Recurve. 60in 62@28 , b50 strings.

Mine is a 1987 model, 58@28 and the sweet spot for me is 7 1/4".  The info that came with my bow way back then (curved limb bed model) was the range for a 60" bow is 6 1/4" to 7", but in later years they increased the that to 7 1/2" on the flat limb models.  
I would suggest you do what Fred Asbell recomended in his book.  Take the brace height down until the bow vibrates and then start twisting it up until it smooths out.  Fred said that would likly be the the best brace height.  My bow will smooth out at about 6 3/4" to 7" but I get better arrow flight at the 7 1/4" so that is were I shoot it at.

Hope this helps.

My Bighorn curved bed is best at 7 3/4".

My 1981 Bighorn 63#@28, 60" one piece works for me at 7-7/8". Just strung it up today to check it, but it has'nt been shot in a couple years.

On mine late 90's TDs  I get 7174-71/2 Whisper quiet.

Mine is good at 7"to7-1/4" Bighorns are measured from the rearward edge of the shelf, not the deepest part of the grip.

7"s on my 70#er 60 inch and 7 1/4 on my 65# 62 inch I just twist it a 1/2 turn up or down at a time,shoot a few more arrows and do it again.You'll know when it feels just right.

Mine are good around 8" to 8 1/2" from the deepest part of the grip.

The early Bighorns 1980's to early 90's the brace height measured 6 1/2 inches to 7 inches was from the back of the shelf not from the deepest part of the grip.
