You can also see the brace height for the 58" Mamba from the Damon Howatt site. The new Mamba's brace height is stated from 7"-7 3/4".

Mine liked 7 1/4" before I sold it. Nice bows and very fast. Good luck with yours!

My Mamba is 66", I think, but can't remember the brace ht. Haven't shot it in a long time.

It's still at 7 1/4, Steve.

Nice shooting bow. I was impressed of just how nice.

The young man I gave it to, loves it.
