I would start at 6 and 3/4 inches and go up or down from their.

Typically a mild R&D like the Sparrowhawk will be somewhere in the minimum 6.5 to 7 1/4 inch max range.

Most of mine have been from 64 to 66 inches length.A shorter limb  like on your 62"often dampens out faster allowing shorter brace height.I would bet close to 6 and 3/4 either way is great for that bow

Those Mohawks are sweet bows. I have 4 of them including a 66” Sparrowhawk.
The others are 64” longbows. All of them are 52 or 53 #. 2 of them being 2 pc takedowns. You’re going to love it.

Hey folks, I have a Sparrowhawk I picked up a couple years ago.  Super nice bow.  I think it's 64" and 51 lb @ 28.  Any idea if Vince is still building bows?  I haven't been able to find a website for him.  Thanks!

I don't think he is. I also tried looking him up recently and could not find anything. Lucky I found the sheet he sent with the bow as it answered my questions!

Victory Rider:  would it be possible to get a copy of that sheet?  I bought my Sparrowhawk used so I didn't get any paperwork. Thanks!

In reference to Vince he is in the process of moving and hasn’t got his shop up and running. I’m sure the virus stuff has slowed everything down.
I have two of his and waiting on the finishing touches on a sparrow hawk

Thanks, Jeff
