I was just wondering what brace hieght you use on your bow. Also if you have any thing else that you found out about this bow that would be great. the bow is a 60#@28in and 62 in.

First off, we need pics!!

Second, the brace height is 6 3/4" - 7" That's straight from Abe's letter that gets sent out with the bow.

What can I say, I shot dozens of bows last March at the W.V. trad/primitive expo.  This one felt like something else to me.  Incredibly smooth and wonderful shot experience... it was begging for me.  Also, nothing comes close to a beavertail grip.  I got a 66" 43# that I draw to more like 45#.  

I believe Abe told me 6 7/8 up to 7" brace height (I'm sure of the upper, but not sure about the lower).  I can try to dig up the e-mail he gave me with all the recommendations for his bows.  I'm sure he would e-mail you the same if you ask.

I've found that mine is most quiet closer to 7" or just a gnat hair over 7.  Then I have silent darts.

Mine likes heavy arrows.  Light as a feather in the hand.

I have a 62" that's 62# @28".  With my short arms, I draw 53#, braced at 6 7/8" with nock at 9/16.  Mine shoots 600gr.+ arrows like darts.

Brace height for the Featherhorn between 6 3/4-7" and generally like them at the higher setting.
