Which of our longbow limbs are you looking at?

The Epic longbow will gain 2 pounds going to the 17 " TT riser and will brace at a little over 7".

The Legend longbow limbs both 4G and CG will also gain 2 pounds on the 17" riser and will brace at about 7 1/2 or so.

All of them perform well on the TT risers.

hi Mike thanks for the reply,i own a couple of onyx/recon risers which are forward handle didn't know how much that would effect brace and they are 15" as well!

7.5" would be perfect but the recurve limbs i have now brace at 8.5" plus.

i was mainly looking at the acs extra long longbow limbs thanks!

ACS XL will brace a bit higher.  I don't have an onyx riser here to test but when you get the limbs set the measure at the end of the riser to about 7 1/4 and you will be in the sweet spot.

With the onyx/recon risers, the brace height will be higher. Papers that I got with my onyx riser said the the brace height would be between 7 1/2 to 8 1/2". Mine shot the best right at about 8" with the ******** longbow limbs.

My Onyx riser liked 7.75" with the Dryad limbs I put on her. I have a medium set of statics and a set of longbow limbs and both liked 7.75"
