Title: Pronghorn brace height?
Post by: T.L on November 26, 2007, 02:36:00 PM
Hello all. I just picked up a used Pronghorn and was wondering what brace height others were shooting their bows at? The bow is a three piece 60" model.
thanks,
Tom.

I've got both of mine braced at 7-1/4" Seems to be the quietest/sweetest for both the 3 & 1-piece.

What Rob said, me too. Start there and lower a couple of twist at a time. Prarrie Dog

Thanks for all of the suggestions. I spoke to Herb last night and he recommended bewteen 6 3/4 and 7. I like the bow. It does take some getting used to but it shoots nice and smooth and best of all, quiet. Tom.

Once you spend a week with a Pronghorn, your hooked. I've danced with purdy ones but she's the one I took home.

I bought a 60"-60# pronghorn from Wyoming Chief about a month ago and I just love it. All my buddies that have shot it want one now. Even in 3 piece it`s still a small,slender bow,more like a one piece longbow. It`s the most forgiving bow I`ve ever shot.

I like my Pronghorns better than any other bows I've ever shot.  They shoot best at 7 1/4 for me.
