brace height question

By the way that is a looker Brad

When I shoot with no arm guard I tend to keep my form more consistent to avoid string slap. For that reason, I prefer 7"-7.5" brace height too.

For me, the added consistency makes up for the small loss of stroke.

How were you planning to make the bow longer?

In the end it all boils down to string tension at brace. If the bow is straight or maybe has a touch of follow it will behave better at a higher brace. If the bow is heavily reflexed or recurved then you can get away with shorter brace heights.

If you plan on making another bow anyway, you could just raise the brace on this bow and see how it works, it may not add all that much stress and it will be just fine....if it breaks, you’ll be making another anyway. I guess it depends on whether you care if you break the bow or not, for me, I don’t care if a bow breaks, they aren’t arrows, those I do care if they break.
I really like that profile. What a great looking bow.
