I have a grizzly and I've read all kinds of post about brace height and I've read the Q&A section of this forum and still I am confused.
In the Q&A: where is matrix string to be set? 5/8 to 1 inch from joint,the 380 with REDS 1/8 inch off reds
Q&A what is the proper brace height for my excalibur : 1 to 1.5 inch from joint.
newer models with 2 lines on rail. any where between them. 1 line 3/8 inch on either side.
I have 1 line on my rail and I just purchased a 60X string and it sits right on the scribed line which is right at 1 1/5 inches from the joint.
What is right?
Thanks

Re: Brace Height again
I take it that there is no answer for what brace height is the right answer.
You just pick one and go for it.

Re: Brace Height again
The line is supposed to be a starting point. Start there and move your string a couple of twists up and down to see if the bow gives you what you want. There are no hard rules.brianpa wrote:I take it that there is no answer for what brace height is the right answer.

Re: Brace Height again
Do you have REDS or Dannys bumpers? If so set it about 1/4" off bumpers. new strings will get longer as you shoot. Watch it for a while until you are sure it has quit moving. My Matrix measures approx. 7/8" set that way. Too high a brace height and you loose a few fps. Too low a brace height and you put extra stress on limbs and limb tips. Using your bumpers is the "Easy Way". Don't even need a tape.
Since the Grizzly model uses a different riser the measurements may be different. I know they are different on a Micro. Go by your bumpers.

Re: Brace Height again
Wid bumpers jus keep yer string 3/16" off of them. The measurement of brace ht. is moot pt. Jus keep string off the bumpers

Re: Brace Height again
X2,3,4, whatever. I set mine at 1" if it gets below 3/4" I give it a couple twist back to an 1", if it get's down to 5/8" I ain't worried about ruining my bow, but I realize I need to get it raised back of the bumpers. I have seen no difference in how my bow shoots keeping them between 3/4" and 1" so that's my sweet spot.
I could use 1 1/4" if I wanted or 5/8" but I try and run the middle and stay away from any extremes high or low, just seems safest to me.
