Title: Whisper Brace height ?
Post by: 1/4 away on April 04, 2012, 09:33:00 AM
I just traded for a Northern Mist Whisper ( it'll be here tomorrow) and have a question about the brace height. I did a search here and see that the recommended BH is 7 - 7 1/2" but where are you guys measuring it from? Having never owned a reverse handle bow I don't know if its from string to limb, deepest part of grip or what? Thanks

Fred, I brace my NM Classics & Sheltons at 6-6.5". The Whisper should work there too, shouldnt have to go over 7" for sure.

Best bet would be to Steve a call, he'd be glad to tell ya everything ya want to know....and then some.

You got a fine bow there!

Fred I braced mine around 7 and it shot good above that as usual let the bow do the talking lol

Very forgiving of brace imo good luck with it

I send Steve an email about the BH and he recommended 7". However I forgot to ask him where that was measured to from the string.

Okay I just got another email from Steve Turay and he wrote...."The whisper should be braced at 7-71/2''. This may seem a little high but there is no handle to measure from. I measure them from the heel of the grip."

Guess that answers that.

I brace mine between 6.5 and 7 on the handle just below the arrow rest.  You will LOVE this bow.
