Hi,

A nice piece of work, looks great.  Just out of interest, what brace height have you found good for that bow?  I'm working on something similar, but have never made a recurve before.  Your info would be a great short-cut tip for me...

Title: Re: Just Aim's Osage Recurve is July Self Bow of the Month
Post by: JustAim on August 13, 2009, 02:02:30 pm

Hi Bob, l've done some adjustments on the bow after l posted it here. l've found that the bow shoots the best at a 6.75'' brace height but your bow might shoot differently. Thanks for your comments. :)

That's  a striking  looking  bow, some  first  rate  primitive  technique  too:) That's  a short  window  height, how  does  that  affect  your  sight  picture?

The window height is just fine and it doesnt affect my aim at all. The pictures make it look smaller than it actually is.
