Shewe: The "sweet spot" on both of my recurves is w/ the brace height set at an inch and a quarter from where the riser meets the rail, hard to hold that w/ FFF til you get it stretched in. A little trick, while you are just foolin around, you can take a stretched in FFF off and use a bread tie to keep the end loops from turning and have a ready to go spare. I put my new oneson the Emax about a good quarter inch above the higher mark, saves an adjustment or two.
