Title: Brace Height for Schafer Silvertip
Post by: BrownA5 on September 04, 2013, 11:36:00 PM
I did a quick search and was surprised that there was no information related to this topic.  I am looking for suggested brace height for a Schafer Silvertip.  Thanks!

7 3/4 to 8" will be the sweet spot.  Measured from the throat of the grip!    :thumbsup:

Thanks Tim for the input!  I also appreciate el greco pointing out that I was on the wrong forum when I made this post.  That is what happens when a question comes to mind late at night and you just have to have an answer! (you pick the wrong forum)

I've never shot one that wasn't a 60"

But I've always had the best luck between 7 1/2 and 7 3/4.  I've never had to crank one up to 8" to get it to tune.  They definitely get loud if you go below 7 1/2"

My 19" riser likes 7 3/4 - 8" also but just wondering if the riser length might influence that number?...Tom.

I shoot both my 60" and 62" at right about 7 1/2"....seems to work great for me on both bows.  Rick

All, as always I appreciate everyone's feedback.  I did adjust my Silvertip to 7 3/4's and man what a difference!  The bow quieted right down and the accuracy is what I would have expected!  Again, I appreciate everyone's input.  Rob was great about getting this post moved to where it belonged... consider this a "shout out" for Trad Gang Admin.... they are all great!

I have 60 inch recurves and I run mine 7 1/2 to 7 3/4.  My 62 inch longbow is just a tad lower.

7-1/2 to 7-3/4" for my 58"-60" bows and a nice skinny string.
