Title: Pearson Mach One?
Post by: Centex on January 06, 2016, 08:59:00 AM

Recently picked up a BP Mach One.  Not the prettiest bow I've own but it shoots well.  Couple of quick questions....Brace height? Between 8"-9"?  String length?  I ask because the string provided during sale has brace over 9" and I feel that is too high.

The 1976 Pearson catalog says 8 ½ to 9 ½. You can see it by following the links at    Pearson catalog library (https://files.secureserver.net/0fbm9bk3jOBvjC)

Mine wears a 48"string and 8 1/4" brace. One of the best shooting 52" bows IMO. One of Robert Birnie's designs I believe?

It's not explicitly described in the catalogue as "Hyper Kinetic" limbed, nor does it appear to have the flattened "coordinator" section, but ....
....looks like a re-working of the BP-H52....

I picked up a Talon Swift 60" 55@28 but my draw length is 27, built by Dave Paxton, current brace height is 6 1/2 inches I think it should be over 7 inches.  Opinions please?
