Title: Kota Prairie Swift Brace Height?
Post by: Kentucky Jeff on September 16, 2011, 07:30:00 PM
Anyone know the manufacturer's recommended brace height on a 62" Kota Prairie Swift?

I've looked at everything on the Kota website and e-mailed Tim but haven't heard back...

Suggestions?

Thanks,

Jeff

7" from the string to the rear of the riser @ the shelf.

Jeff,
I gave you a short answer, but here is little more of the story. I bought a Praiere Swift from Tim at Cloverdale in 2004 after a back injury 'cause I wanted a lighter weight bow(54#s @ 28"). It is my favorite recurve. I called Tim and asked the same question you have and that's the answer he gave me. It shoots well at that brace height.

There is a point at the rear of the riser the contacts the web of your hand when you grip the bow. Measure from the string to that point.

Killed my first Trad. buck wiith it at Land Between the Lakes!    :archer:

Just got an e-mail from Tim and he says its 7.25" from the back of the shelf.  So you were close!
