Doug: Your griz is a 1965. Start around 8/14" and work down to find that sweet spot. Never had a problem with stress just as long as its only in the fade outs and not in the working part of the limb. Doc or Rich they are both very good! Your wife will love it   :thumbsup:

Doug...I think Mike meant 8-1/4" on the brace height.

Stress cracks are common on these old bows.  They will not effect the shooting, and should not cause any further problems.
