Terry i would start at 6.5 inches and work my way up on that bow.typically on bows in that style I shoot em at 6 and 3/4er to 7 and 1/4er with 6 and 3/4er to 7 inches being about average brace hieght for that style bow.

My 62" Mahaska likes 7" or just a hair under. It's quiet and deadly at that height.
