Blackcreek bows usally use a higher brace then other bows.I believe the recommended height is 8" or alittle higher.I read a thread one guy posted that his Blackcreek shot better at the higher brace then when he tried to lower the brace height.My buddy has a one-piece for his wife and shoots it at 8",shoots great and fast there.

I too got a new Siren today, but I did "bother" Jim today    :biglaugh:   Straight from his mouth, start at 7.5 and go from there.

thanks guys looks like 7.75 is magic! WHAT A BOW!To top it off it was almost half of what other custom bows are.I Wish I could post some pics cause this jewel is a real piece of craftsmanship.I can promise you this fellow tradgangers the game in southside Virginia are in for a surprise!

I had a Banshee before I switched over to lefty. Mine liked about 8", and I believe the range was 7 3/4 to 9 for the Banshee. Probably less for the Siren. I can second the quality and speed. Great bows. Hate to see them go away.

Mec lineman- I'm jealous you get to shoot yours, mine is a Father's Day gift so the wife said not until tomorrow, man now I know how my kids feel when their toys get taken away. Oh well I made up a dozen arrows it should like, twisted up a backup string and gazed longingly at it.
