New project
DC:
I raised the BH about an inch for fletching clearance and shot 30 arrows. No serving yet so I stopped at that. Came in and put it on the tree and got 40#@28". BH gives another 2#??. Took about 1/2" of set, I'm checking to see how much returns. I've got so many lines on my sheet of paper it's hard to tell. Anyway, shoots as nice as any bow I've made. I like it. May just leave it alone. Tart it up bit. Yeah.

Yes, brace height increases draw weight a touch, as you preload the limbs a bit more, thats my understanding anyway. 1/2 inch set is really darn good. Next go at it, make it 1/8 to 1/4 wider to take no set. A second option is, build an extra half inch of deflex in to match the amount of set this one took. That will also be a zero set bow.

Any more tiller work you do, may take a look at the inner third of the lower limb. Its a mite stiff.
sleek:
Can we get another full draw?

Back in the day, and this has been disputed,, Tim Baker wrote that the lower brace height would shoot harder, and that even with the increased draw weight with higher brace,, you would loose some fps,,
