Howdy folks. I'm a relative n00b to trad bow shooting. I just got my first trad bow, a bob lee takedown recurve, a month ago. I bought it used and am picking all this up on the fly.
My question is related to tuning. The bow is shooting well, and I'm getting better, but I wanted to know the following:
1) How do I measure brace height on this bow? From the back of the shelf? Deepest part of the grip?
2) What is a normal range for the brace height on this bow?
3) Should I just set and forget my brace height, or should I tune it, and if so, what am I looking for when shooting it with slightly different brace heights, e.g., how do I know when I've found the sweet spot?
4) Finally, I assume when I get the brace height set this will change my nocking point?
Thanks for your patience!
1)I measure from the deepest part of the grip.
2)8-9 inches. but that is what works for me.
3)I would just do small changes and see what works best for you. as you get better you may change it again. :)
4)no, but I am sure someone will say other wise.
Tex deepest part of the grip.My Bob lee 58" is at 8".Hardest part for me was quiteing it to my liking always felt loud when I shot compared to my older one piece but my son-in-law shot it Sat with me near stand safely and whisper quite.Kip
I called bob lee and asked them what the brace height should be. Sandy will be glad to give you the info.
Thanks guys.
