I'm FINALLY finishing my nephews bows. 48" board bows. I made a "test string" and twisted it to a brace of about 4", but haven't had a chance to shoot it yet. What does anyone recommend as a brace for this short of bow?

Thanks,
Ron
Why do they call it common sense when it is so rare?

At minimum 4 inches. Set the arrows the boy will shoot on the bow, if the feathers rub then adjust the brace height. If they do not rub 4 to 5 inches shood be fine. Also look at the bow and see if it looks like to much. Meaning does it look over stressed or like it is half drawn already.I usually brace around 4 to 5 inches.

Life is not a journey to the grave with the intentions of arriving safely in a pretty and well preserved body. But rather to slide in sideways, thoroughly used up, totally worn out and loudly proclaiming....WOW WHAT A RIDE!!

Thanks Nugget. It looked a little under braced at 4", but I wasn't sure. After I get the arrows put together I'll see how it looks.
