I have a 64", 3-PC T/D Schafer Silvertip recurve.  The string that came with the bow is 58" long.  When I strung the bow at The Archery Shop right out of the shipping package the BH was 8-1/4", measured from the string to the deepest part of the throat of the grip.  The string seems a bit short to me for a 64" recurve and the BH just a bit high.  Anybody have a 64" Silvertip and can you share with me the BH you use and the length of string?

Thanks!

Steve,

Thanks, that's what I thought it should be, too.  Now if someone can just tell me what the BH should be.  :)

Bill, I have mine set at about 7 5/8" but have shot it up at 8" depending on the set-up/tune. Hope this helps, Ed

Ed,

What length is your Silvertip?  And what length string are you using with it?

Thanks!

Bill,

If I remember correctly, Tip strings are 1" shorter than normal, ie, normally for a recurve at 64"AMO, the actual string length would be 60",4" shorter than AMO so for a Tip the string would be 59",5" shorter than AMO. Beth will answer your question for sure. On the 58-62" Tips I have owned,7 1/2"-7 3/4" was the recommended brace, had mine at 7 3/4".

I think they recommend 4 inches shorter on the FF models and 5 inches shorter on the dacron bows.
