Hi!
I just received a brand new BD super swift today.
It`s a AMO 64 45@28 and I`m wondering about where to start the brace height for tuning.
Thanks

What limbs do you have? I've discussed this quite a bit with Sid and the hexV limbs are designed to be shot with a low brace height. ( as low as 7")

Yes we must have pic's I'm waiting on mine, it should be about done, cant wait! I'm getting a 62" Black Douglas Super Swift triple carbon spine with a Haritage midnight and haritage walnut riser, Hex5-w limbs. I think 7 1/2" will be in the neighborhood for the Hex5's.

Just received my first Border, too--a Super Swift Hex-5 H 64" 48@29 1/2. The bow is gorgeous! I asked Sid about brace height, and he suggested a starting point 7-7.75". I have a hand injury so am on the sideline and won't be able to shoot for a few weeks. But I would be interested in others' experiences with BH.

Hunting was hazardous, but at least it guaranteed the freedom of the individual.
There is no doubt that the onset of farming saw the end of leasure for the majority of people, who were destined to toil in the fields.

Finally some pics
Sorry for the quality but I did shoot them with my cellphone.
I tested the bow today and GT 5575 fly like darts. They are cut to 30" with 3 gr. pr " weight tubes and 145grains fieldtip.
This is a fast accurate bow

Not just good looking either....
I shot it the other night, it is one quick bow... and can you say SMOOOOOOOTH?
I built some full metal jackets 340 spine with 75 grain inserts and 125 grain points, cut to 30" They flew perfectly out of this 45# Black Douglas... and I shoot them outa my 53# Black Widow.....
