Chaparral Archery ????

[MWM]

I can't find a web site for Chaparral Archery does anyone know how to get in touch with them?

I have a recurve made by Chaparral.  It is a 60 inch 47 lbs at 27 inches and called an "Alpine". I would like to find out the recommended brace height and recommended string length.  

I have been shooting it with a 57 inch string and 7.5 inch brace.

Thanks Guys!

Sorry to say Bruce and Helga are not in the business anymore. I don't know if it was health issues or Bruce just finally wanted to retire and do some elk hunting in New Mexico. I remember the one year he drew a tag and was too busy making bows to go.Bruce made a great bow for the money. I had two Kaibabs and an Alpine recurve.Mike from Mikes Leather might know more I believe he was pretty close to Bruce. But 7 1/2" brace height sounds right to me.

Youre in the ballpark. I had one and braced it at 7. If it aint noisy then you found the sweet spot.
