Brace height on 56" Big Jim Thunderchild?
« on: February 10, 2012, 10:08:00 PM »
I've heard from 7 3/4" to 8" being best... where do you brace your 56" Thunderchild?

I've got one sitting at the Post Office overnight and my wife will pick it up tomorrow while I'm at work...  Just want to cut some time and get in the ballpark tomorrow afternoon...  ;)

I shot my 56" a little over 8 inches.Thats where i liked it best.I have a 30 inch draw.Not sure if it makes a difference in B.H.But it might.I was shooting a skinny 8 st. D-10 string by Oliver Stacy with a Zipper woodie quiver.I was very happy with it set up the way I had it.It shot nice,vibration free,stable and quiet.

Since that bow was my personal, you would think I would know where it shot the best. All I can tell you is that it shot the best strung!

I have found the brace height to be very forgiving on the TC's but I would guess that one to work best around 8" or just a touch higher.

good luck, bigjim
