Hey guys....I was wondering if anyone knew the recommended brace height on a 60" - Turkey Creek longbow? I twisted up my last string way too tight when putting in my silencers. I'll keep adjusting but plan on putting a fresh string on this week.

So...I hope they're are some T-Creek shooters that can chime in and help me out.

Btw: Has anyone spoken to Doug? I know he was going through a rough patch but then heard he may be up and running again? Just wondering....he helped me out a lot when I was first getting set up.

Thanks and good luck to all on the upcoming deer season!

About 7.5 worked well for me.

I own a 62" Turkey Creek Longbow. The brace height on mine is set for 8".

Straight from Doug:
7 3/4 to 8 1/2

But when Doug says that, he's measuring from the BACK of the bow.

fyrfyter is correct. If you measure from the throat of the grip it is only about 63/4 to 7". Doug makes these bows to take a low brace height and they perform accordingly.
