Kota Prairie Swift Brace Height?
« on: September 16, 2011, 07:30:00 PM »
Anyone know the manufacturer's recommended brace height on a 62" Kota Prairie Swift?

I've looked at everything on the Kota website and e-mailed Tim but haven't heard back...

Suggestions?

Thanks,

Jeff

7" from the string to the rear of the riser @ the shelf.

Jeff,
I gave you a short answer, but here is little more of the story. I bought a Praiere Swift from Tim at Cloverdale in 2004 after a back injury 'cause I wanted a lighter weight bow(54#s @ 28"). It is my favorite recurve. I called Tim and asked the same question you have and that's the answer he gave me. It shoots well at that brace height.

There is a point at the rear of the riser the contacts the web of your hand when you grip the bow. Measure from the string to that point.

Just got an e-mail from Tim and he says its 7.25" from the back of the shelf.  So you were close!
