NM Shelton brace height

Hi guys, I just grabbed a great Shelton from the classifieds (my first hill style bow) and am wondering what everyone braces theirs at. I started at 7"...just an arbitrary pick but it's shooting great, I'm not sure if this is way off though. Thanks!

If it's shooting great for you at 7" there's no problem with sticking with it, though typically they are often braced lower. I like mine around 6 3/8 and it's a 66" bow. 6 1/2 to 6 5/8 on my 68" Classic. Just see what your arrows do. Once you have the right general spine and you have em shooting pretty clean then tweak the BH as needed. There's really no one size fits all. I would not go past 7" as to me that reduces the powerstroke too much on what is a simple, 'slower' basic design. And with these bows wearing an armguard is kind of part of the fun. A fast flight material string will also make it more enjoyable :D The Shelton is the sweetest shooting Hill I've tried other than the Classic I also have. Steve does em right.

I was just tinkering with some new arrows for my 68" Shelton and set the brace at 6 7/8". I've tried several spots from 6 1/2" to 7 1/4" and really cannot complain with what I was getting. Your brace is certainly in the park.

Fine tuning at this point...I just dropped it from 7 to 6 5/8, shoots basically the same but almost makes zero noise at that brace. This is my first experience at this style, compared to the Widow PCH I've been using. I wasn't expecting this at all, what a great bow and great shooting experience. I'm really impressed so far.¥

I shoot my Shelton (68" long) at 7" brace height. In fact, all of my Hills and Hill style bows are braced right about that height.

When I had a Shelton I braced mine between 6 to 6.25. I belive that is what Steve Turay suggested. Thanks and happy shooting.
