Hi Gang:
Would anyone know the preferred brace height, nock
height, etc., on an aprox 1963/1964 Herter's "Olympian" recurve? (45# @ 28")
(Marked: 69 1/8")

Thanks.

Anything you might want to know.

Just remember that Herters measured Brace height from the BACK of the bow at the shelf, not from the throat of the grip.
