I have a Wing Pro and it likes 8 1/4" brace.

Both RWH seem to like the 8-8 1/4, In my experience with them.. Best wishes.

I have my early '60s RWH at 8 1/4" and it shoots as good or better than any modern recurve I own.  :archer:

Let us know what works. I am curious if my old catalog is right or not.

7-3/4" to 8-1/2". My 58" tiny tip RWH shoots best for me at 8-1/4". I have a 54" T-bird that is dead quiet at 8-5/8".
