I know some of you are still not really sure about the brace height you should be using.. I have here a rough guide from forums . But still, it would be the best if you can try and experiment the best brace height for yourself. Changing the brace height does not affect the poundage , but it affects the power stroke. This means it affects the sight also, take note when on hot weather the string expands more and hence your arrows might drop. For 25inch Riser 66 :20.5 ~ 23 cm 68:21.5 ~ 23.5cm 70:22.5 ~24.5cm For 23inch Riser 66: 20 ~ 22.5cm 68:20.5 ~ 23 cm 70:21.5 ~ 23.5cm Theses are just guide lines to follow , there isnt really a right brace height , but just make sure it falls in between there. I do sometimes go higher then the required brace height to tune and make my bow more forgiving. I personally like higher brace height, because over a long period of time, it shows that my scores are better with the higher brace height strings. The Strings i make are according to the specs above
