Just finshed my first TD have a question
« on: March 13, 2009, 07:07:00 PM »
Hello all, new to the site, been reading it for a couple of weeks now and decided to join. My question is, will different brace heights affect the total pounds pulled at 28?
I had mine set at 8" [only string I had at the time} and it pulled 60#@28, now with it set at 7" it only pulls 47#@28.
Bow length is over all 62"
Thanks
Scout

It will make a little difference, but I don't think it will change 13#'s over 1"...  Have you sanded or done anything else to the bow since changing the string/brace?

Super Shrew Gold 42@28

Wow!  Better inspect that bow well.  No strange sounds when you drew her back?

I don't think changing brace height can change draw weight. Might change performance but the draw weight shouldn't be affected.
Make the most of all that comes and the least of all that goes!

Stranger things have been known to happen to me!! When I did the tiller it was done to 45#, then when I put that short string on it it jump to 60#, so I took it off and made a correct length string which brought it down to the 47# range. Nothing has cracked or broke or anything else. So I guess there was something going on with that string. But I'm happy with the 47#s.Thanks for the replies.

Could have been a measuring error at the 60# mark.
