I have a 68' Skookum longbow made Fred Anderson. Does anyone know the proper or approximate brace height for this bow?

I would start at 7" and work from there probably between a quarter inch either way.

I braced my 68" Skookum at 6&3/4",shot just great there.

Thanks for the responses.

I own 3 of them and use 6 1/4 , you can go higher but would,nt go lower

Fred advised 6 1/2 and that is what I have mine set to. Good to read about Skookums, not many have this beautiful longbow from Fred.
The Sherwood Poacher...........

Thanks much.  

OK, now lets go to one of his 62" Hyak L/B's with the same question?  

Gene, I have a 64" Hyak and run it at 7" from the back of the shelf.....Dave

Gene,
I have a 64" Hyak Diamonback. My brace height is 6 1/2" and nock height is 3/8"-7/16". The bow is 57# at 27 1/2". I did not know that Fred made the Hyak in a 62".

Sorry, I forgot the d in diamondback.

Just want to thank you guys for the information. This morning I was able to set the bow up using your recommendations and then take it out and do a litttle shooting. Let me tell you that there was a night and day difference from the the way the bow shot previously. I still need to do some tweaking on the bow, such as putting on a new leather shelf plate and getting some appropriate arrows to match the bow, but I'm confident that this is the bow that will accompany me to the elk woods this fall.

Thanks again.  

6&3/4'' for the one I had ...

I own two and have them set at 6 1/2, arrows fly great and bows are silent.
