Brace Height

[kill shot]

Has anyone tried to adjust there brace height to accomidate a slightly different spined arrow?

I have. Lowered my brace height on two of my Blacktail bows. On the 42# bow, I lowered it from 7 3/4" to 7 3/8" which allowed me to go down in spine from a 2213 to a 2212. On my 37# bow, I lowered it from 7 3/4" to 7 5/8" and this allowed me to go up in spine from a 2013 to a 2212. My longbow shoots the same 2212 arrow also.

Yes I have tried that. But I found my bows like a certain brace height and then I tune the arrow from there.

Absolutely, you can also tune by string type and even number of strands.

Yep, And also tune by weight/position of string silencers.

I do that quite often for instance.

My 52* Zona T/D Recurve likes a 14 strand B50 string w/ a BH of 7 1/2" when shooting my G.T. Trad 35/55's.

50* Hoyt Dorado came with 8125 string but when I made a 14 strand B50 string & toyed with the BH till 7 3/8" she shot them G.T.'s like darts.

46* Sky Sky Hawk likes a 12 strand B50 string with a BH of 7 3/4" to shoot those G.T.'s really close to spine.

Absolutely.I find brace height to be a real key factor when fine tuning arrows.

Use brace height to fine tune your set-up.

Thanks. Like Ranger said, Fine tune your set-up. Changes to arrow length,tip weight etc. Your whole set-up. But I was thinking too like Jerry Jeffer said,his bows like a certain brace height. My preditors calls for a window of tolerence for the brace height.
