dacron string brace height

MikeO · 03-19-2009, 08:36 AM

So, if you are using a Dacron string on a traditional bow, do you set your brace height by where it starts out, or where it finishes after the initial stretch settles in?

My bow shoots best at 7 inches. Starts out at 7.25, settles in at 7 after a few shots. Would you say my brace height is 7, or 7.25? I go by where it settles in, not where it starts out. Wonder how the bow makers look at it when they recommend a brace height?

The newer low stretch strings are nice, but I still prefer the sound and feel of Dacron on most of my bows.
