Title: Brace Height on Barta Bow/Martin Bushmaster?
Post by: threeunder on August 15, 2007, 10:41:00 PM
What's the recommended brace height on the Barta Bow? Or the old Martin Bushmaster?

#45 @ 28"

Thanks
Ken

If I remember right it's from 6 1/2 to about 7 3/4.  I shoot my 60# Bushmaster at 6 1/2 with 65/70# Woodies and it works great.  Quick too.

I did a search and what I found on the Martin page is for a 2000 Bushmaster they recommend  6 3/4 to 7 1/2.  For a 1999 Bushmaster they recommend 7 1/4 to 7 1/2.  Go Figure?  My bow is about a 1996 model and is not FF rated but it sure shoots good at 6 1/2, so I would say go low and start twisting it up until it feels right.  
Good Luck !
