rerbows.com has a link that lists suggested brace height for their bows.

I had a LXR. If my memory serves me correct, I had my 60" XR around 7 1/8"


PS, on all my bows I try to achieve the lowest brace height I can.

I shoot my XR at 7 7/8, with a 16 strand 8190 with loops padded to 20.  This works well for me....quiet using FMJ 500's, standard H I T inserts and the old Bear razorheads with adapters.
