what kind of brace height do you use? I have a 56" and draw 25".

They were great bows very well designed with attention on details.Depending on the riser lenght the brace could go from 7" to 8".
i remember them being a fairly prominent name back when i first got into trad in the late 80's...wonder what happened to them?? nice shooting bows
The 56" bows brace should be 7 1/2" to 8". Last I heard, John Morris is making Cowboy hats now. Too bad, his bows are great.
Wow ,Felix i hope your collection is insured!
Sergio,I get a good allarm system,the bows are not the most valuable staff up here.
I measured and it looks like it is a 54" any change there? I have 3 sets of limbs but my draw is 25" and these limbs are 64@27". Would my brace be a tad lower. I twist a new string and have it set at 7". string length is 52".
Nice photo!
Michael,a 52" string is for a 58" recurve bow.The original stings were all endless so you couldn't play really much with the BH.But i guess you can read the real lenght of the bow written on the limbs.
So that's where they have all gone... they took a boat ride to Felix's... nice collection!

Wish I could find my old one . . . The only one I regret selling.
I'd buy it back in a second.

That would be a nice collection of Rocky Mountain Recurves, however that picture is from one of John's last brochures showing the different bow lengths that were available. I believe I still have that brochure laying around someplace.
I have one with two sets of limbs 56# and 70#. Great bow!
Yes the pic is the brochure I had when I bought mine recurve from them,a Personal with 2 set of limbs that make a 50"-60# and a 52"-63# at 29".
so I twisted a flemish string.Did I go too long short or should I just shoot. I'm lost.Can I use a flemish string or should I buy a string and go from there.Thanks
They are making hats...too bad, they were great bows. Here's their current hobby

Anyone know of anyone selling one by chance?
Maybe I have seen one for sale on the classified,it was a wrong hand for me so I let it go.Try to post on the Classified or make there a search.
I would buy one in a heart beat and regret not having one made while it was still an option. I see them now and then but almost never LH and I would like a shorty in the 56 or under length just in case someone has one collecting dust out there. I really like the riser design - very much like a Morrison or Robertson with a smooth curve on the outside.
Have a Flemish string on my 58" with brace @ 8 3/8". Seems to work @ that brace but maybe will lower it some to see how that works like others suggest.
You'd stop making bows if you saw what they get for a hat.. :scared:
No breathing in dust and fiberglass and always dresses in ya sundays best (if ya want)
Kingstaken - that is exactly what they told me the last time I called about their bows. "Got sick of breathing the fiberglass dust"
I also tracked down someone in Washington or Oregon that has all the forms and makes RM recurves now and then. This was years ago so I have no idea if he is still doing it.
