I just picked up a beautiful Firefly longbow from Action Jackson on this site (thanks for a great deal Jack!) I want to make sure that I have the correct brace height set. Thanks!
Just emailed Jim about this subject earlier this week...both Jim and Tim (braveheart) recommend 6-3/4". But I was also told this was a starting point.
Thanks,
Josh
I have run them 6 3/4" and up to about 7 1/4" or so. I liked the higher end of that on two of the three I have had. One liked the low end best.
I run 7 inches on my Firefly, and it loves it.
GOOD bow........congrats
I have taken both of mine down to 5 1/2 inches and they are still quiet and they are flat out fast. I generally hunt with 7" of brace.
Thank you for the input fellas
I've found my firefly to be the least touchy of my bows when it comes to brace height. That said, I keep mine at 6 3/4".
I emailed Jim Jones and among other things brace height was one of the questions I asked. Here is his answer verbatim:
Question b: I recommend a brace of 7" + or - 1/4". Brace height is a tuning issue for each bow/shooter and still may be higher or lower than what I recommend. Everybody tunes their bows different.

It seems that 7" is working well for one set of limbs and 71/4" is better for the other set. Thank to all for the help.
