lol! not this time Dave. Still hoping for some input here. Im not too familiar with short bows like this. I like to shoot stiffer spines with a high brace so I tried 7" and it sounded like a gong. Probably gonna have to see how 6 1/2" feels.

Thanks for all the responses! I shoot a little bit of a stiffer spine and 8-1/4" worked perfect. Same thing for my 56" explorer. Merry christmas!!

Most of the production recurves from that era shot around an 8+" brace.  That is a good starting point.  Sounding like a "gong" generally means you are way low.
