Hi Folks,

I have two older bows that I would like to make sure I am using the proper brace height:

Damon Howatt 58" Hi-Speed 45#@28"
Browning 54" Nomad I 47#@28"

Can you all give me your opinions on the brace height as measured from the deepest part of the grip?

I am shooting around 7.5" on both, but just for curiosity sake would appreciate your opinions.

Thanks much

I can't help you with an exact brace height, but I do have a Damon Howett Super Diablo and all I do is to check the groove on the limb where the string rides for my brace height, it a 1974 and shoots great.

  • Leon Stewart 3pc. 64" R/D 51# @ 27"
  • Gordy Morey 2pc. 68" R/D 55# @ 28"
  • Hoyt Pro Medalist, 70" 42# @ 28" (1963)
  • Bear Tamerlane 66" 30# @ 28" (1966)- for my better half
  • Bear Kodiak 60" 47# @ 28"(1965)

The brace height on my '72 Hi-Speed is 7 3/4".
We are all here because we are not all there.

I had a Nomad I that shot quietly with no shock at 8" on the nose. Nock height was 5/8" but the arrow rest was elevated about 1/8". Hope that helps.
