thanks for the replies,roy called today and was very helpful and one heck of a nice guy to talk with,anyways he gave me some great info. on the bow and thought i'd share it with you all.the brace height he recommends for this bow is 7 1/2 - 8 1/4'' also he recommended using b50 flemish and catwhiskers instead of fur silencers,another thing he mentioned is that if you here a tick in the bow,put some bow string wax on the limbs where they bolt on,said it was the finish rubbing and not to be alarmed by this.hope this bit of info. passed onto me from roy is helpful to anyone else who shoots this particular bow,and did i mention he's one very nice guy to talk with.take care,rich
