I usually go by the owners manual say 7.5 to 8 inch brace height. I try 7.3/4 to 8 and leave it around there.

Kramer, I would like to take this opportunity to thank you for all the work you put in to making these help type videos. The wealth of knowledge you have passed on to us, as a community, goes far and beyond what I would consider normal. Just a heads up, you got a real fan here 😎

I have used brace height adjustment to finish tune an arrow set up. Now I am talking only about 3 turns of the string one way or the other.

What I learned today is that many of the peeps you get messages from that claim to "know better" have no clue what they are talkin about when it comes to reality....😉

Thanks for all your helpful advice 🤘

Thanks for the information, brother

I hope that’s coloring on your hands. Thanks for the video. Your website is looking good too.

Thanks for the video

Very interesting stuff! 👌

Most excellent but why the yellow hands?

Amazing

I have 2 56" AMO recurves..a Browning Wasp 44# and a Shakespeare Wonderbow Kaibab X27 55#. Brace height for the Browning is 6&3/4"-7&1/2", for the Shakespeare it's 8". It'll take some time and patience to find the "sweet spot" of brace height.

Great video now I know what I've done wrong 👍

Interesting video..! The next video/question would be.. 28 inches is the standard draw length, how much does draw weight increase when you over draw a bow? Thanks for the video...

From what I have found with my brother he is 27 inch draw and is getting about 2--3 pounds taken off the bow depending on age of bow and weather factors. Then above the proper draw I have seen with my dad at 30--31 inch draw he is getting about 4--6 pounds above the usual 28 inch draw the weight of most bows are set at depending on age of bow and weather factors.

Bow weight on most bows are 3# over what they are marked except for custom made bows..Most bows pick up 2-3 #per every inch over 28 inches of draw.

The smoother the draw force curve, the less gain per inch from ~20 - 30+" Shorter limbs tend to hit the stack point faster, longer limbs later. Gain per inch is nearly completely dependent on design of a given set of limbs.

A lot of hunters set brace height as low as they can to gain a few FPS but to me it seems like a higher brace height would be less effected by torquing as it would leave string sooner. Similar to lock time on a firearm.

I've always understood the purpose, of adjusting brace height ( on a recurve or similar boe) was to get one's arrows to disengage with the string along the centre line of one's bow when viewed from above. On its journey, from release to nock disengagement, the string will oscillate, due the finger release, horizontally, left and right, crossing the bows, centre shot line. This is my understanding, but I'm anticipating alternative views 👍🙂🙂🇬🇧

FPS is a symptom of the energy being transmitted to the arrow. Hunters want heavy arrows, cast well. Lower brace height is gaining efficiency. As a hunter I want the brace as low as possible while maintaining good tune.

Mmm. May be the poundage changes +/- 2lb, at the standard draw length. However, it's difficult to appreciate as to how it would change draw weight at the Archers actual draw length. How would the Bow know, if it had been pre drawn (ie. brace height) by more or less, when it's at full draw. Same bow, same materials, drawn to the same point. ? I'm confused 😢

The shape of the bend is different because the string is longer or shorter.

Thanks!

Newer bows. Do you have to unstring them?

It depends on who you ask, fiberglass bows would usually be fine but to be safe you can unstring them.

How long does it take to slip the upper string loop down the limb ? I would suggest, recommend, slip the string and give the bow a rest. What harm can it do ? 🏹🙂🇬🇧

Why would you NOT unstring the bow? It is 30 seconds to take stress off the limbs. If I am shooting every day, I will leave it strung (modern designs). I religiously unstring if it is going to be over a day. (BTW I have and still shoot a Bear bow my grandfather hunted with in the 60's. With care a good bow is worth generations of shooting)

Dude! Your hands are yellow! Liver problems?

Brace height does not change the poundage but changes the bows draw length for the poundage the bow is set for. Trust me, this is why my Actionbow by Actionrod 8200 the longbow model made from 1962 to end of 1979 I can almost draw the full 36 pounds at 34--35 is the brace height of those models is 4--5 inches working best for me at about 4.25 inches. I can also with another bow due to where they tiller the bow, my GREAT PLAINS TRADITIONAL BOW COMPANY Youth Longbow in hickory I can draw the full 45 pounds maybe even 46 pounds due to my draw 24--24.5 inch draw depending on the bow design in riser/handle almost the same as the bow at 24 inches despite the brace hight best at 6--6.5inches but have yet to draw the bow to find best brace height. This is why my OEELINE Airobow the one piece recurve that is 54 inches with 45 pounds at 28 inch draw, I can only draw to 36--37 pounds despite the bow looking like a 2/3 to 3/4 sized Bear Grizzly/Super Grizzly in most parts of the bow is that the bow has a 6--7 inch brace height so the bow is more like 90% of a Bear Grizzly in this part and why I draw the bow 16-17 pounds off the actual weight of the bow.

It's wrong.
