Title: Montana l/b brace height
Post by: Richie on November 14, 2010, 11:17:00 PM

My brace height is 7 1/2 on my 55# Montana L/b. I'm shooting 35/55 gt with 125 gr. tips. Seems to shoot just fine , but I'm curious what other shooters brace height is with a comparible set up?

I shoot a 50# Montana L/b with comparible set up shoots good at 7 and I think the recommended brace heights are 7-8 1/2.

I shoot a 45# Montana. I've experimented different brace heights from 7 1/2 to 8 1/4 and mine seems to shoot best at right around 8" using a Flemish string from Doug McCoy.

As I recall, the brace on the one I had was right at 7 1/2". I think Bear recommends (or used to) 8 1/2", which is too high, IMO.

I think my 50# Montana likes 7 1/2+, but you can go up or down a bit and see whats best. If yours is shooting well ,leave it alone.
