Hello folks!!! Tyler & I went "bow hunting" at a local flea market yesterday...

We were quite successful!!! I picked up a Shakespear "Sierra" recurve, 52" 50# @ 28" and a left hand Bear Victor "Patriot" target bow, 66" 35# @ 28"

We came home & gave both bows a nice warm soap&water sponge bath, then wiped them down with furiture polish. I scrounged the my old bow stuff and found 1 of my old Kodiak Mag strings for the Shakespear. Got my webster stringer & strung it up... The lowest I could get the brace height is 9" from the throat of the grip to the inside edge of the string.

All of my Grizzlys like about 8" but I seem to remember my old K-Mag was more???

Can any of you folks out there with "short bows" tell me what your brace heights are?????

Thanks!!! woodchucker

My Nomad Stalker likes 8 - 8 1/4".

I have a 52" Martin that shoots good at 7 3/4

My K-Mag likes 8.5"

The Toelke Kestrel 52" I just traded away did great at 8 1/4"

Golden Hawk Magnum 7.75.

This is an old(but still good)stretched out string & the MOST I'm getting out of it is 9"!!!

Might have to pick up a new one.....

I think I was using around 7 3/4 on my 52" Toelke.
