Should be 7 3/4" to 8"....however, put a new string on the bow, let it stretch for 3 days, shoot a few arrows then check the brace. Should be close to 8".

Mr. Skipp is right on the money. Mine is braced at 7 7/8"

She shoots pretty good, man. I'm currently shooting Grz Stik Banshee 500's @ 29.25" w/125 grains up front, and she puts them where I look----and pretty hard, too.
