My Savannah loved a brace height of 7 5/8. It always had a slight thump but nothing too bad.

A little finish coming off just adds a little character. Clear coat of nail polish should touch it up.

My 50# Savannah loved the BH low...around 6-5/8" if I remember correctly; shot the heck out of that bow for 2+ years!  I can still pick that bow up and about 6 arrows into the outing they're hitting exactly what I'm looking.  Really need to get that bow back out and use it now more than ever!

My guess is the arrows are too stiff and the fletch is not clearing the riser...they're just going left and not developing the correct parallax (sp?) to "wrap" around the riser and fly down range.

For the record I shoot 30.5" Beman MFX 500's out of mine with the standard adaptors and 145 grain points...my draw is 29.5" and the bow has been scaled at 52# at my draw.

I agree with the others...the finish flaws are just character!

Try raising the nock on the string so you are 1/4 inch above level of the shelf. I like my nock a little higher than the standard 1/8 inch above rule.

I believe mine also likes the nock a touch higher.

I will take the measurements when I get a chance and post.

I twist from the bottom limb.      

In general, most archers would twist from the top, thinking that tiller may be slightly affected and a more positive upper tiller is better than lower. Not sure this would even apply to traditional equipment. I'm sure the string build and prestretch would come into play if a person was going to get that anal about things.
