Title: Brace height on a 76 Super Kodiak
Post by: Sawpilot 75 on August 30, 2015, 10:47:00 AM

I have 76 Super Kodiak I bought a few years ago from a guy I worked with. I was going to set it up for a friend to help him get started in trad. I have a dacron string on it which measures 55" off the bow. My question is, is the string length correct and what should the brace height be? Specs are 60" 45#@28" Thanks.    :campfire:

Start at 8" and go up and down from there. That string may be too short though, unless it's new and has some stretch in it.

I measured the string again. It's actually 56" long..

Most of my S.K.'s shoot fine around 8.25"

This one seems to like 8.25 as well

Sounds like it may work then. Is that Super Kodiak a blue stripe?

Measured my string off a 71 or 2 super K and the string length is 56 1/4" @ the 7 1/8" that my bow performs best at with 55 to 60lbs. spined cedar shafts,,,,so best bet is to work it over and find out!
