Brace Height Of Primitive Bows?
Badger:
I like a 6" brace height and most my bows are close to center shot so I usually use a spine about equal to my draw wegiht. Steve

See Selfbow Care and Tuning on my site. Jawge
Pappy:
Same as Pat and Hillbilly 5 1/2 to 6 is about normal.And about 5 to 10 under the draw weight
depending on how center shot I have been able to get it for my arrow spine.Glad you had a good time at the shoot and found this site,like justin said we like pictures,we don't read to well you know. ;D

Marc St Louis:
I brace as low as possible without the string slapping me. This is usually about 5". If flight shooting I will brace the bow lower

Thanks for the overwhelming responces.Last night after posting I put about 15 or 20 twist in the string and that ended the string slap.Arrow cast and drawing was much smoother as well.As said before the bow is 53#@28''.My usal draw is 28''.However,with this type of bow I guess I'm a little nervous on it breaking so I short draw it a little.About 27'' I'm guessing.As far as arrow length I would like them to be no shorter than 29''with 125gr tips.I have some 1916's that I shot through it to see how they would fly and they did decent with 200gr tips.But I need woodies for the archery shoots and well the 2 just go together right.I have a digital camera if someone can instruct me on how to post pictures.Pappy and GregB congrats on your bow of the month.It was a pleasure meeting you both and I look foward to next year.Pappy you have a beutiful farm and set-up that I am extremley jealous of.Thanks again tradrick
