AMF Red Wing Hunter Brace Height

[bowtime]

I aquired a bow from E-Bay. I am concerned about
brace height. The bow is 58" 40#@28". Can someone
help me with proper brace height for this bow.
Thanks in advance.

7 3/4- 8 1/8 sounds good to me.

Start at the low end and twist your string after every shot until the bow shoots quietly.

Been awhile since I had one, but I seem to remember 8 1/2" brace on mine.

I have one made back in the 70's.  Great little bow.  Seems to me the original recommended brace height was 9"-9.5".  With an AMO 58" Dacron string and no twists, mine braces at 9.5"...

Bob Lee recommends 7 5/8 on the new ones I'll bet that is a good starting point. I have the very same bow mine is braced at 7 1/4 that is a little low IMO

I have am AMF redwing 40@28, 52".  I got it new in the early 70's.  The brace back then was around 9.5", but since I started shooting it again, I find that around 8-8.5 work better.

Nice bow,

Carl
