Fair enough, what's the bracing height (or range) for the Long Merlin Elite/Border ML2 on a 25" riser?

Thanks, I was just looking for somewhere to start really.

I didn't realise it was on the website!

I'll try the middle of the range and see how I get on. If I come up with anything startling I'll be sure to post!

just for interest / info

i shoot merlin elites on a 66" setup with a brace height of 220mm (8.6") and its a pretty quiet setup (even though for some reason i though i was in the middle of the BH range when it seems im actually down at the bottom end - assuming the TX recommendations are OK for elites / ML2s also ? )

The brace height for hex 5's are looking form most of the test bows we have worked well with 1/2 inch less than Hex4's but brace height is a personal thing as long as you dont exceed the maximum.

The BD 64" is about 7.25" - 8", looks like it works well.
