They brace a little high. Proly somewhere between 71/2 and 8".

I have a Thunderhawk (recurve)---pretty sure it's set at   7 3/4".  Like"heydeerman" said, they typically are on the high side...

Thanks for the info guys. I traded for this bow seems like a nice little bow the brace hight was at 6.5 I will move it out.

Just adjust it till the tips no longer touch the string and you will find the right spot. Bows with a lot of r/d typically have higher brace heights. Makes em forgiving bows.
