Brace height

[Windsurfer]

Does anyone know the proper brace height for Bear Kodiak magnum bow made between 1965 and 70? In the earlier Bear Catalog, the recommended brace height for the 1961 is 7 1/4 inches. In 1962 - 1964 the catalogs recommended brace height is "between 7 and 8 inches".

I am shooting a 1967 with a brace height of 8 1/2 inches using a 48 inch string for AMO 52 bow. Should I go with a longer string to get between 7 and 8 inches? The bow shoots well and the arrows fly straight as is but wondering if lower brace height would make bow smoother? Thanks for your input. Dave

BB, Thanks for the info.  Mine does shoot well but I was wondering if a 7 1/2 to 8" height would make it a bit smoother and quieter, but it is not bad now so maybe leave good enough alone?

Right on 8" on every one I've ever owned.
