Question Hello from an indecisive bowman
Hello to all

Although I joined this site a couple of months ago this is my first posting. I shoot a Aerotech/G3 recurve , a Mathews Switchback XT and a Bickerstaffe Longbow. Can't make my mind up which I like best , hence indecisive.

Need some help if possible. Have just made a 66'' string for a new club member. At the moment he is using an old Rolan Riser with standard 66'' limbs. Does any one know what the brace height is for these bows?

Cheers

Mark L.

I don't know what the brace height should be, but a string should be roughly 4 inches shorter than the bow (so a 66" string is too long for a 66" bow), I would of thought it would be about 8 inches though.

Cheers, Kae.

Thanks Kae , Bad typing on my part , string is actually 62 1/4 '' but for a 66'' bow , cheers for the bracing height.
