Can anyone give me the best brace height range for the SD?
6 3/4- 7 1/2. I draw 30" on my 66" Super D and the brace is at 7". YMMV.
Ok. I've got mine set at 7 1/4 and it has a bit of a thump.
Mine is at 6 7/8"
Make sure you get the heel of your hand low and in contact with the grip. It will turn that thump into a subtle pulse.
Yeah they have a mild bump like a much softer version of a Hill bow. The one I had liked 7-7 1/8". Get your whole palm and fingers in contact, don't shoot it with just thumb and forefingers. Great little D bow. Was surprised how easy to shoot well it was. I ended up passing it on, I think I still prefer the Whip.
Nineworlds,
Yea, I shoot with my thumb laying easy on the grip and my index and middle finger lightly wrapped around the front. The bow is a great shooter, but it has come out of my hand before on the shot. I have a hard time gripping the handle hard and shoot a vertical, straight up bow style. Probably very unconventional for a Hill style bow shooter. I've never shot a Whip, but I love my Lynx. Absolutely dead in my hand!
Mine is set at 7-1/16". Dan's card says 6-3/4 to 7-3/8".
Mine gets really sweet to shoot when I grip it more like a pistol. All four fingers wrapped around the grip and the thumb high resting on the top of the leather grip. I relax my grip on the bow as I begin to draw. Mine is the straight grip.
Good luck to you with a great bow.

I ran mine a bit high......like 7 5/8", worked for me and it was almost silent.
Neargeezer - would you mind posting some pics of your straight gripped Super D?

Sure, I'll need to take a couple pitures of the riser. I don't want to highjack longbow fanatic's thread, so how about I email them to you tomorrow after I take them?

I'd like to see as well, pretty please. Lankford.jeff@gmail.com
Terry,
If you don't mind, I like to see the grip too. :bigsmyl: Do you mind posting a pick here too?
Since it's okay with longbow fanatic, I'll just post some pictures here. If anyone still wants copies sent to them, just let me know.
I'm not much of a photographer, so get what you can from them. The light was still a little shadowy.

Shot one of mine this morning, it is 58# @29" shooting 630 grs. with a brace height of 7 5/16". I am a tinkerer and with a range of different spine Douglas Firs and point weights I have been from 6 7/8" to 7 3/8" and have found you cannot keep these bow from being ridiculously quiet!
Nice grip and love the Yew lams!
