For any of you Wing Thunderbird shooters.....does anyone know the string length and recommended brace height for one of these 52" bows.  Thanks

Brace height 8-8.5", I prefer the lower end.

AMO string length would be 48" but that depends on how the string is made(endless or Flemish) and how much stretch is made into it. My endless made strings have little stretch so they are 49" long on my string jig.

Thanks Kelly,  just finished a B50 Flemish string and set the brace height to 8".  Using 48" as a finished string, added 17" for the loops and then subtracted an inch for stretch which put the peg at 64.....came out perfect.
