Haven't owned or shot one in quite a while, but it's a 60-inch bow as i remember.  Something in the 8-inch range should work, maybe a little higher.

Yes 60" bow .
I just purchased it as fun shooting bow and hadn't sent so much tome tuning it  i concentrate on my main hunting bows and i don't plan hunting with this one.
Setting the brace height at 8" it's loud with heavy arrows (30" 2117 with 200gr points).
I will try 8,5 to see if it helps queitening .

Lots of potential reasons for a noisy bow.  An arrow slapping off the riser side plate (too stiff) or shelf (nock point or brace height too low) can make a lot of noise. Nocks that are too tight can also contribute to bow noise. So does plucking, if you're prone to that form mishap. Low stretch strings tend to be noisier than dacron.  The list goes on.  Hope you find it.

For a recurve I would start at 7.1/4" 7.5" and go from there.

A good place to start with ANY recurve bow is to twist your string up/down until you can see about 1" of string groove under it.

Yes , i think that the design of bow limbs is more past 8" bh for this bow.
I often shoot my custom kodiak td with 8" but the design is différent on this Bear  hunter TD.

Both of mine shoot good with a 8 1/4" brace height. Everyone is different but 8 1/4" would be a good place to start.  :thumbsup:
