brace height?
 
I'm sure it's been asked many times before but how do I determine the correct brace height for my recurve. after comparing my other bows to my new one I think its too short. I am still having trouble with noise. on my other bows the limb tips are almost in line with the string but my new one the tips are pointed considerably forward, I dont know if this means anything. Thanks for any help you may give. I shoot a 52 inch 50 lb kodiak mag.

I base my braceheight on how the arrow flies. There is a spot where it just seems to fly much better. It varies on any of my bows.

Play around with it! For trad bows i think the base starting point is anywhere from 7'' to 8 1/2''. There are sweet spots where it will shoot for you best and shoot the arrow you are using best.;)

Measure the brace height from the deepest part of the riser to the string. Bear's usually start at 7 3/4" to 8 1/2". If it is making a lot of noise, it is too low. Make sure you are shooting an arrow heavy enough for it as well.
